Class reviews H3)Group rules and procedures aloud in class. Students are expected to know these guidelines and rules so they can work with groups efficiently and receive full participation points for group work.
Expectations-Ms. Batten speaks to students about her high expectations of them, ramping it up to the level they should be at, how she expects them to be self-motivated learners and follow the rules and procedures we have gone over for 3 weeks. Students should start acting like 11th graders and becoming more independent and mature, rather than expecting teachers to make things easy, simple or to think for them.
If portfolio was never checked off by Ms. Batten, you must bring it to her to check off. There will be a late penalty but you will still get credit.
