Ch2b Resubmission directions - Due by Friday!

1. Look at the tracking spreadsheet.  Find your name and look at the following columns:

Concept 0 - BK - Question 1, 2, and/or secret questions
Concept 1 - BN - Question 1 and/or 2
Concept 2 - BQ - Question 1, 2, and/or secret questions
Concept 3 - don't need to resubmit
Concept 4 - BW - Question 1 and/or secret questions
Concept 5 - BZ - Question 2
Concept 6 - CC - Question 1, 2, 3, and/or secret questions

see video here for the secret question for concept 6. You must explain to me how to solve it and what you did wrong the first time.

Concept 7 - don't need to resubmit
Concept 8 - don't need to resubmit

If it says "must resubmit", follow the rest of the directions.  

If those columns are blank, you must contact Mrs. Kirch via email, edmodo, or text and ask her for directions. (that means she hasn't graded yours yet because you turned it in late)
If those columns say #N/A, that means you never originally submitted it and must 
(1) submit the WSQ normally, 
(2) Contact Mrs. Kirch to ask her to grade your WSQ; 

2. Look at the spreadsheets for each concept and find your name.  This folder includes ALL the spreadsheets for the chapter.  Click here to access.

3. Any box highlighted in PINK you must resubmit fully and correctly.  Re-read the question in the top row.  Some WSQs have only one question you must resubmit whereas others might have two or three.

4. To resubmit, follow these directions:

  • Log in to Edmodo.  If you don't remember your login, send me an email or text message asking for your login information
  • Send me a private note (make sure the "Send To" box says "Mrs. Crystal Kirch")
  • In the note, tell me
    • Which Concept you are resubmitting
    • What your fully correct answer is.  What did you get wrong the first time? What mistake did you make?  Just the correct answer WILL NOT BE OKAY!
  • Include this for ALL questions on that WSQ you need to resubmit
5. If you have to resubmit MORE THAN ONE CONCEPT, you must send me MORE THAN ONE NOTE, one for each concept.

6. Make sure you check for my reply.  I will either respond with "approved, thank you", or I will ask another question.  You must continue to respond until I say "approved, thank you".

Welcome to Mrs. Kirch's Class!

WELCOME EVERYONE!

I had a great first day with all of you and am looking forward to working with you this year.

READ CAREFULLY BELOW!

Here is what you need to do BEFORE CLASS ON THURSDAY:

1. Watch the video "Introduction to the Flipped Classroom" (4th one below).  While you watch, take notes on the handout I gave you.  It has lots of blanks, so make sure to pause and get them all filled in correctly!

2.  When you are done, you have 5 summary questions to answer.  You can handwrite those and turn them in, or just type them in the form that will be right below the video once you click on the link.
Make sure to answer these questions in complete, thoughtful sentences or you will be asked to do it again!

3. At the end, write down any questions you have about the Flipped Classroom.  You must write down AT LEAST ONE.

4. Look at your "Palm Tree Page" for the other things you need to get done: parent stuff, student info sheet, Edmodo, etc.  The sooner you get it done, the better!

5. Contact me with any questions - you can email me, send me a note on Edmodo, leave a message at my google voice number, etc.  All of that contact info is on the palm tree page you got today!
