Remember All Assessments Are Open Notes AND Open Textbook!
Look on the bottom of your lesson pages for this link:
World Geography
Extra Credit Opportunities
All due by May 21st!
LEAP Post test - due by May 3rd. I will take this into account when I am finalizing grades after May 28th, if you have taken both math and LA post tests, I will drop your lowest scoring test to help your grade in social studies.
Finding errors in the social studies lessons or e-text: Students, please send me a screen shot of factual errors, spelling errors etc. Also, use the feedback bubble to let our parent company, Pearson, know about it. Please do not send things that look like publishing/print spacing errors or odd arrow in the glossary! I will award 10 points as a portfolio for extra credit if you do this and I find you are correct. Plus, you will get the points that may have not been counted back, if it is on an assessment!
Were you enrolled on Jan. 28, 2019? Then refer back to your webmail from me that morning titled 'No Social Studies LL Today Monday 1/28 Attached Required Assignment" which should have said extra credit assignment (sorry, I was not feeling well at all that day)! There were two ways to get extra credit. No, I will not resend it to you. That is why you should be reading your webmails daily.
Field trip extra credit: Write up a paragraph or two (more information = more points) about any field trip that you take with the school or one you take with your family telling what you learned on the field trip or museum visit, etc. Then receive a bonus portfolio grade for extra credit. These are due no later than May 17, 2019. I will allow 2 write-ups for school field trips and 1 for a trip with your family. Try to get some social studies related information in it too, if you can.
TOADS - As in what are map TOADS? Send me a couple of paragraphs in webmail telling what the 5-6 map TOADS are and why they are important from the March 4 LL. If you were there live and taking notes or review the LL recording on that page of my Weebly. I will give you 5 bonus points.
Were you enrolled on March 24th, 2019? I sent out a webmail with extra credit for Women's History Month. Here is the video to watch and please have 2 paragraphs about the women of Nevada (mostly Las Vegas) sent in webmail to me by May 21st. Subject: Women's History Month Extra Credit. This will be for 10 points extra credit on quizzes.

April 28th webmail titled "Mrs. Sullivan proctoring tests and some great opportunities! Extra credit/corrections anyone?"
Read through this Webmail and tell me what your favorite meme was and why + tell me what my favorite website is for German + use that website for 5 minutes and tell me which topic you picked and how many grains of rice you earned. I will award you 5 extra credit quiz points.
Participation points: I add points at the end of the year for attending/participating in LiveLessons. We will not have LL on April 29th and May 6th due to my being out proctoring tests, but watch out for a bonus recording during that time. Also, I will have an open office LL on May 13 for last minute questions on lessons or corrections or extra credit.
