8^th Graders – Test Corrections

            * First, if you received a D+ or lower you will be retaking the test. If you received higher than that you will have a choice to retake or not. The test will be when we come back from break and it will be an open book test. As such it will be somewhat harder because you will be using your book on it.
            * Test corrections will be done by everyone and they can be used on your test if you have to retake it. This is how I want them done:
                        1. Write down question
                        2. Write down correct answer
                        3. Write down the page from the book that gives you the information about the answer
                        4. Parents Signature
            * If you complete that during your class time you will begin the vocabulary for the new chapter that can be found on page 443.
