Please make sure that you have met with your partner and decided who will do "pros" and who will do "cons." Then make 5 strong arguments supporting your position, labelling them 1-5, with 1 being the strongest. Please write this up to be turned in on 5/17/10.

Science Extra Credit

Any student wishing an extra credit assignment for Science may write a two page paper with this topic:

Spacecraft reentering Earth's atmosphere encounter tremendous friction forces. Research the ways materials are designed to resist or reduce the heat generated by the friction of reentry.

This will be due on Wednesday, 5/26/10 and will count as an additional test grade. No late papers will be accepted.

Science Test on Thursday, 5/20/10

Group 5G will have one last Science Test on Sections 1,2,3 of Chapter 2 Physics on Thursday, 5/20/10. The test will be given during Reading and Writing blocks in case anyone needs additional time. We will prepare for it on Wednesday, during Reading and Writing blocks so that the material will be fresh. Since we have the Art Show Rain Date during our Science block on Wednesday, this seemed to be the best idea. The days are dwindling!

Group 5G folders collected on 5/17/10

Folders for Reading/Writing and Science will be collected on Monday, 5/17/10. Since each folder counts as a test grade, please be sure that they are organized with papers in the correct divider. If you are missing any assignments, please label a piece of paper with that assisgnment's name and due date to show that you know what's missing, and you will receive at least partial credit for it.

All folders will be collected on Mon., 5/17/10

Because grades are due so quickly after the end of the year, I will be collecting folders early on Monday, 5/17/10, so that any information that happens after that date will be small enough to check at the end of the year. Folders should have all information filed in the appropriate divider. If a student is missing the actual paper, s/he may put a blank piece of paper in its place with the name of the assignment and date due to show acknowledgement of the assignment, and at least partial credit will be given. The folder counts as a test grade, and it is meant as an easy "A."
