IF YOU ARE FAILING
It is probably because of 3 things:
1. You haven't turned in the Imperialism Notes. See the post on Imperialism or come see me for the notes.
2. You haven't turned in your folder. You may still do so, but points will be taken off for being late. Today was the last day of mercy.
3. You failed the test. Please come in to Intervention this week to do Test Corrections! If you failed the test, you are REQUIRED to do so.
Also, if you haven't turned in your disclosure document, YOU MUST DO SO or you cannot watch any more movies in the class. You will be asked to step out and you will lose points.
