4. OPTIONAL/EXTRA CREDIT: One of the VERY few times I will be awarding
extra credit this year! WARMUPS.... To receive credit (12 points) you MUST
follow the directions below exactly. Any deviation, and the points will not be
given. If you think your warmups don't satisfy the requirements, please don't
waste your or my time.
- Your name, and the date on each page.
- Turned in on Wednesday, BEFORE 6th Period (before 12:30).
- Stapled together in chronological order, earliest to most recent.
- Absolutely legible. I will not be "interpreting" anyone's writing!
- Other than the first week of the warmups, the words should be written as one complete sentence or an integrated paragraph; not as separate, unrelated sentences!
- The daily words/phrases, of course, should be used correctly.
REMEMBER: The first trimester ended with assignment 37 (the test); all assignments after that (i.e., last week's and this week's assignments) are second trimester assignments.

those of you who have not attempted improvements - amnesty;
but this amnesty doesn't last all year!! At some point, it's going to

- Have you completed ALL of the homework assignments?
- Is your TOC up to date? Annotations complete?
- Maps complete?
- Jamestown Diary entry complete?
- Generally, all assignments from #1 until #20.
