IMPROVE YOUR GRADES!!!!

Right now many of you are asking how you can bring your grades up. Many of you should be asking this if you realize it or not. there are several ways you can accomplish this.

The first is by completing the extra credit Project due Thursday. This grade can replace your lowest test grade (which can be either a test or a project).

The Second is to complete and pass 10 USA Testprep quizzes. Send evidence of your passing by e-mailing the results to me at either cchsbio@gmail.com or lesmith@crisp.k12.ga.us This will be counted as an extra Daily grade, something several of us need desperately.


Thirdly, You need to be doing you absolute best at the in class project with The Future is Wild. Over the whole process there are two daily grades and a test grade, lots of easy points to get here.

Fourthly, you need to be working on your 9 weeks projects. These cannot be completed in one night and are DUE December 12th. They will count as 20% of your nine weeks grade. No one can afford not to do it.

These are the ways you may improve your grades right now. Do not wait until the very last second. Eleventh hour attempts are harder work with less payoff. Remeber the last day to makeup/re-take things is Thursday November 29th if you are Mrs. Laura Smith's Class and December 6th in my class.

The Future is Wild
