Today in all classes I posted on the board each Light Waves Amplify Assignment that needs to be done on the program so that students could see what they have, or have not, completed.  I told my classes to take a pic or write down each assignment so that they could check their own work.  Students were also given a writing assignment, Amplify, to prove the claim for the unit question:  "Why does Australia have the highest skin cancer rate?" This assignment was given on Friday. Students will have until the end of the day on Wednesday to complete all assignments, including the Post Test on Light Waves, and the written argument assignment. HOMEWORK: Due on Wednesday! Light Waves: Critical Juncture Post Test Claim Paper Any Outstanding Amplify Light Waves Assignments (most were assigned in class and given class time to complete).
