First 3/Final 3
Everyday as you come into class, a quote will be
on the board. It may have to do with what we are
talking about or it may not. You are to write a
response/ reaction. Every Day I will collect the
of quotes and grade your effort and
participation. Each day is worth 3 points. If
you are absent during the week, it is up to you
to get the missed quote from a classmate. If you
are absent on Friday, your quotes are due your
next class day.
