The first quiz in social studies is over! If you look in Parent Connect, you can see the score for the Chapter 1 Quiz. Many students proved that they studied hard by earning high grades on the quiz. For some students, they realized they may need to put more effort into their preparation for quizzes in social studies.
In class today, students received a "redo pass." In social studies, they will receive one "redo pass" that allows them to redo an assignment or quiz that at which they'd like to take another shot. Once the "redo pass" is used, they will not receive another until 2nd trimester. When using a "redo pass" on an assignment, students are encouraged to use their book and notes to correct answers that were wrong or to do the assignment completely over. They will turn in the new assignment with the pass attached to the 2nd attempt at an assignment.
When using the "redo pass" on a quiz, students are encouraged to use their book and notes to write the correct answer, next to the original answer on the quiz. Students will earn half credit for each question they redo correctly. For example, most quiz questions are worth 2 points. For every question the student answers correctly on the redo, they will receive 1 point back. There is typically a 2-day deadline on using a "redo pass" on a quiz. For instance, if a student chooses to use the "redo pass" for the Chapter 1 Quiz, quiz corrections must be done with the "redo pass" attached to the quiz by this Friday. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have about this "second chance" opportunity.
