GENERAL:
The week after break we are doing a lab. The impact of the lab on the grade will be 50% of the semester grade. Thus, having a good week with the team is important. And grades can definitely go up or down depending on how the week goes. They have been trained for this and can do well.

MISSING TED TALK HOMEWORK?
For this week only, I will allow students to still do that assignment for 80% credit. The four grades can be made up in one of the following two ways:
A) Watch the film October Sky. You can find it on Amazon or Youtube for a small fee. Take notes as you watch. Prove to me that you are watching the film with the quality of your notes. Randomly writing down 15 notes about what is happening at any time will more than cover it.
B) Google “TED TALK SCIENCE.” Watch any combination of TED Talks that add up to 80 minutes. For each TED Talk, write the following:
a) Name of TED Talk b) Running Time
c) 3-4 sentence summary d) 1-2 sentence reaction.
e) Have your parent or guardian sign the work.
ALL OF THIS WORK IS ABSOLUTELY DUE THE DAY YOU RETURN FROM BREAK. The window for obtaining credit has closed. I am opening it again for this week only. It is a month late at this point.
