See below for information about the test retake. 2) Plate Tectonics Guided Reading Important Dates 1) The Continental Drift/Plate Tectonics test has been moved to Friday, October 12. 2) The Disaster Project will be due Tuesday Oct. 16. 3)The binder check has been moved to Friday Oct. 26. Retest For Earth Layers - The retest for the Earth Layers test will be during CLASS on Wednesday, October 10. Students who earned a 69 or below MUST retest and attend working lunch on Monday Oct. 8 and Tuesday Oct. 9. - Students who earned a 70 or above and want to improve their grade may take the retest Oct. 10 but are not required to attend working lunch. Students who are not taking a retest will be working on their disaster project. ***Please note- the retest is NOT the same test- it is a different test on the same content. I cannot give a retest to students who are below proficient (69 and below) without remediating first so DO NOT ASK ME! Also, students who are Proficient and Above (anything above 70) are asked to look over their test and any notes before retaking a test. I request that these students (proficient and above) ask any clarifying questions about concepts during homeroom or busroom, or during class and to NOT attend a working lunch. I only have so much time and space during lunch and I need to work with the students who are seriously struggling with the concepts and need remediation.
