Every day when you walk into class the first thing you will do is the “Do Now” slide that will be presented on the promethean board.
You are expected to come in and complete the task assigned.
This “Do Now” slide will only be posted for the first 15 minutes of class so try not to be late.

5. Do Nows
You are expected to do the “Do Nows” everyday when you walk in because it is the procedure.
You will use a composition notebook to complete the “Do Nows”
“Do Nows” are essential because they can be used for an opening to a new topic, for a review of a past topic, for critical thinking and for food for thought.
