Online Access to Books

You may have noticed several links to your textbooks online. On 9/17/13, students registered for this access in class. Students should have a copy of directions to gain access (with their login and password) in their social studies folder. There is also a copy of the directions in the electronic filing cabinet.

Unless they noted otherwise on their directions, their username is the same as the username they use to log on to school computers. This online registration gives them access to both World Explorer and History of Our World. There is also a link to "breaking news," which is a great resource to finding current event articles. http://www.pearsonsuccessnet.com/

How Can I Improve My Grade?

Before you ask, check this list:

1. Are you doing your homework and assignments on time?

2. Do you double-check your work for mistakes?

3. Do those assignments get turned in on time?

4. Do you ask appropriate questions in class?

5. Do you seek assistance before school or during study hall?

6. Do you study for tests/quizzes (more than one day in advance)?

7. Do you take notes on what you read and what we discuss in class?

8. Do you review those notes?

9. Is your binder organized so it's easy to find materials?

10. Is your social studies folder organized so it's easy to find what you need?

11. Do you truly read the textbook?

12. Do you use a dictionary or thesaurus when you don't understand words?

13. Do you use your class time wisely? If you finish early, do you go back and review?

14. Do you practice answering questions on your own?

15. Do you take part in extra credit when it is available? Remember, extra credit is not offered on an individual basis!

TAKE PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR RAISING YOUR GRADE!!!
