Evidence collecting day!

Today we will gather evidence of your mastery of the course.  Don't worry, it's not a test!

IF YOU ARE ABSENT TODAY - You have 1 week to make up the assessment in the Assessment Center, (or is the Evidence Center?)

REMINDERS:

• Do not look around the room. (No Shifty eyes)
• Please write on test - put your name on it.
• REMEMBER: You are more than your assessment score. :-)

WHEN FINISHED:

• Turn in Unit 2 notes packet
• Take a self assessment.
• Take a new reading packet and student note packet for unit 2.
• If you have time, complete the self assessment.
