region, as well as preparing for the unit test. You may bring in food that is
found in the region for extra credit.
LATE WORK

assignments for full credit if you have an extraordinary reason for why it is
late.
*Along with your late assignment,
you will need to turn in an explanation for why it is late.
2. You may turn in two
late assignments or one late assignment and one late project or
paper per term for any reason for 80%. I
will hand out ‘late passes’ that you will need to attach to your late work. You
are responsible for your late passes, if you lose your late passes you will
need to wait until the next term to get your new late passes.
3. If you are failing the
class, I will accept unlimited amounts of extra credit, however, the highest
grade you will be able to earn is a C-.

research answers for class, when appropriate. You must use it out in the
