2. World History Lopez, K Movies / Movie Clips Absentee Policy 2016-2017
Movies / Movie Clips
Absentee Policy
We will be watching SOME movies in World History.
These movies will NOT be Rated R
Movies are not in lieu of a lesson – they are PART of a lesson. Be prepared to use the movie as evidence in a project, on a quiz or as part of a larger assignment.
* YES, WE DID SOMETHING IMPORTANT WHILE YOU WERE ABSENT. It is the student’s responsibility to check the class Absent Box and / or the website to find any assignments missed.
* A student has two extra days to turn in any work assigned on a day a student was absent. If a quiz was administered on a day a student was absent, the quiz must be made up on the first day the student returns. If previously assigned work was due on the day of the absence, the work is due on the first day the student returns.
Technology
Our Smart Phones with School Wifi – IF it works. We all have small computers in our hands – let us use them when appropriate! Other times we will use the computer lab for a larger projects / group project. Students are expected to abide by all school and district digital safety rules and guidelines.
TURNITIN.COM – Assignments will sometimes need to be turned in at turnitin.com – NO EXCEPTIONS!
Assignment Feedback will be given through TurnItIn.com as well
