assignment due

ALL GROUPS READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH



group 3 who did their "debate and vote" on Tuesday. READ THIS FIRST.
GROUP 1 will present on Wednesday read this next. Both groups assignment due Friday before first and only recess typed, ready to grade.

Group 2 will turn in on Monday because they will not present until Friday.

the assignment is to write a complete full page of your bill at the top, be very SPECIFIC and use every detail. Describe who, what, when, where and why of the bill. The more information you have discovered and the better you describe your concept the better your grade will be (20 points total) plus the "up to ten points" not for your participation but for the quality of your participation. Some peple said more with less words, while others spoke alot but said nothing. You need to learn to be specific in your arguements. Typed, double-spaced with a title and your name. In the last paragraph give your opinion of the exercise and did you like it or not and
what you learned from this effort.

Remember MUN members must take their exam on Monday after school or Tuesday in class. We leave on Wednesday and no exam, no grade above 70 Are we clear?

Group 1 exam on part 1 multiple choice Tuesday/part 2 essay Thursday no school Wednesday

Group 2 exam on Friday both parts but you have 10 minutes less than the others because Friday is a shorter schedule.

Group 3 exam on Tuesday block as scheduled.

MUN students in group 2 or 3 who can get permission to take their exam on Tuesday during group 3 try to do it. Speak to me and I will help with your teacher. If you are absent you MUST MAKE UP THE EXAM (a different one) on Monday when I return from CILA. If not you will not receive a grade over 70 as well. Are we clear about that?

Send a bb, facebook, email to everyone. I liked the way the entire 10th grade helped each other out. You are all good guys except ___________ you know who you are!!!!!!

Good luck
