Bell Ringer: What do you think are the most important ideas to understand from this unit? (Do not answer "everything")

    • Discuss folders

      • folders will be collected tomorrow (Friday) before your test

      • Grades will be assigned for having a complete index, having all assignments in the folder, grades will be given for assignments that were not turned in, and Bell Ringers will get a grade (there are 15 bell ringers, and each one is worth 2 points - this will account for about 15% of your midterm grade ... make sure they're all done! Check the "assignments" page for a list of all assignments and their numbers, check the "notes" section for the daily bell ringers.

    • Review Chapter 11

      • Students break up into 3 groups and are assigned one section of chapter 11 for each group

      • Groups are to find the most important information in their sections and present this information to the class as a way to review for the test.

    • Chapter 11 review problems

      • Available for download here.

      • Will not be collected for points.

      • VERY similar to problems you will see on tomorrow's test.

      • Students should read through each question. If you know the answer right away, don't waste your time on that problem. For problems you don't understand, consult your notes and the textbook to find an answer so that you can answer similar questions on tomorrow's test.
