Get Ready for Test #2

This Friday we will be working in groups to assist in determining the questions for test Number 2 which you will have on March 30th. This test is on S1:U6, S2:U1, S2:U2, and S2:U3.

To get ready for the test you need to do the following:

• Prepare four(4) questions for each unit. This will be a total of 16.
• Bring these 16 questions to class on Friday, March 23rd.
• You will meet in groups on the 23rd and submit seven (7) questions per unit from each group that will be considered for the test. Each group needs to provide the questions complete with page references.
• Make sure you bring two copies of the individual questions for class on the 23rd. There is a one (1) point deduction for each question you fail to bring in on that day.
• Use the previous sheet handed out in class for help in writing your questions.

Just one.

Question for Friday, March 16th

We're back at it! We have three chapters in a row to cover now that we are back from Spring Break. Please read S2:U1 from your textbook and post One (1) interpretive question for Friday's class.

That's right, only one will do for the next few classes.
