Test Retakes

You may complete the test corrections in Google Classroom if you wish to retake the test for the Mongols or for the Americas. Both retakes must be done before Winter Break, so December 20 is the last day possible.

If you wish to retake any of the map tests, you must go to tutoring to study. Once you prove that you have gone to tutoring, you can retake either map test. Each retake will be on the entire map. So, all the Asia countries from the map in your notebook and all 50 states.

Extra Credit!

Totem Collage

Extra Credit

Totems – a natural object with which an individual, clan, or group identifies itself.

Totem pole:

For extra credit, create a totem collage. Come up with a minimum of 10 different symbols you identify with.

If your name has a meaning, for example, that could be a totem. Your school, a sports team logo, etc. 

Use an online quiz like https://play.howstuffworks.com/quiz/whats-your-spirit-animal to determine your spirit animal, and add that as well. Each totem must have an explanation in complete sentences! This is worth 20 summative points if done correctly. You can do this digitally or on paper. It is due December 2.
