  6. Day in the Life… • Every day when you come in you will be expected to CHECK THE BOARD! • Journal • Get your binder and start writing your response as soon as you come in • You’ll be expected to share your responses with others so take the time to write something worth while. Its okay to be wrong here.

  7. Day in the Life… • Notes • You are in school. Be prepared to take notes daily. • I will give you time at the end of class to work and talk with others. The quicker and more efficiently we get through my information, the faster you get to have time for yourselves. • Throughout the year I will teach you good note taking skills

  8. Day in the Life… • Labs • On days that we are not taking notes we will be engaged in labs • We will be doing a lot of hands on activities for you to reinforce the information you learned from lectures • The better behaved you are during labs the more we will be able to do • I am very strict when it comes to behavior during labs; you mess up = you lose privileges

Day in the Life… • Review/Work Time • I understand that you have social lives outside of school so I give you time in class to get work done • At the end of most days you will have time to work with each other to start homework, catch up on missed work, review topics, get help from me, etc. • If I see that you are not using this time for these purposes, I will make assume you do not need the time and then will make notes last from bell to bell
