ePAT PRACTICE TEST

EDLINE.  Because of limited space, I use the terminology (above) of SHARING to represent ongoing daily class participation.  This column changes throughout the grading period and its elements are as follows:  asking questions, participating in class discussions, and taking daily class notes.  No student will receive lower than 70% throughout any grading period UNLESS the distractions of using cell phones improperly during class causes it.   However, it is critical to take notes and participate throughout the week.  If you are interested, under my MENU,  POLICIES & PROCEDURES covers just that and you can look at the RUBRIC.  In addition, XCREDIT is an ongoing category where students can earn available extra credit which "pops up" from time-to-time and is less than 10-points.  Anything 10-points or more receives a separate column in EDLINE.

Apart from the display of flags in public places, citizens and officials do little to formally celebrate the occasion, although events such as marathons are often held on the day. Constitution Day is no longer a free day for workers, but it is still observed as a day of commemoration. More...

Here is a video I found on YOUTUBE created by a former student at West Shore a few years ago.  You may enjoy taking a look.
Idiom of the Day

all bark and no bite

Full of talk that is more threatening or impressive than that which one can or will actually do.
Besides LECTURES, you are held accountable for any READ, REVIEW, REINFORCE or VIEW taskings which can show on QUIZZES, TESTS, or other EVALUATIONS. Any OPTIONAL resource is just that - optional and students will not be evaluated on that resource
