8/24/09 Welcome to a new year at Chocksett Middle School! Students will be introduced to the time period between the fall of Rome up to the Renaissance. We will seek to improve students skills in note-taking, writing, maps, critical thinking, and analytical skills to help them expand their knowledge of history and how that history helps us to better understand today's world. Have a great year! -Mr. DeMarco ----------------------------------------------------------------- 8/24/09 Reminder that students who miss 3 assignments will have a letter sent home and will be required to stay for detention for me. Students who miss an assignment have 1 day to complete for 1/2 credit. Projects will be due on the due date. Each calendar day late will be 10 points off the final grade for the project. That includes absences. Only students who provide notes from their parents/guardians that they KNEW the assignment was complete on time and the student was out for approved reasons will be excused from the point deduction. -Mr. DeMarco -----------------------------------------------------------------
