  10. Remediation • You may earn a passing grade on any assignment that you do not pass by correcting ALL incorrect answers, and retuning it to me within 5 school days. • The highest grade you may receive for any remediation is a 60%

  11. Bellringers!! • Bellringers are opportunities for you to write about the things we are talking about in class, quotes, or current events. • Bellringers will be done every day. When the tardy bell rings you are to begin. • I will not ask you to start…remind you to start...or tell you to start….when the bell rings…you should be started. • Each day you will have 4-5 minutes to complete the bellringer. You must be SILENT during the entire bellringer. Every FRIDAY you will turn in your bellringers from that week. • Your bellringer should be at least 4-5 sentences, and discuss your opinions, beliefs, reactions and other feelings about the topic.
