We're in Term 3 now, which should be a good thing. Term 3 is worth 60% of your total grade - Term 1 and Term 2 were 20% each - so this is the time to do your best, especially you didn't have a great start to the year. Remember, students with a course average in GEO or HIS of at least 80% at the beginning of June can look forward to not writing the final exam, so if this could be you it is time to have a strong finish.

Students who missed HIS or GEO tests before the break need to come to Room 229 at 11:50 AM to get caught up on one of the following days: Tuesday, March 10 or Thursday, March 12. Students who fail to get caught up will receive a test mark of zero.

GEO students have started watching the BBC documentary, "The Magical Forest." There is an accompanying worksheet that students need to complete. This will be due on Friday, March 13. (Students who miss part or all of the video in class can get caught up on their own time, whether that means watching the video and/or answering the questions.)

We have already done eight Geo Masters tests, and we are likely to do at least another five or six. These will resume on Wednesday, March 11. I was supposed to give a Geo Masters test last Friday, but with the Forests test coming up this week and various live events being televised at the Winter Olympics, I decided to delay it.

The next History test will happen this coming Wednesday. Students are responsible for pages 47 to 71.

The test on the Forests workbook will happen this coming Tuesday, The test will cover pages 2 to 25. Students were informed of this test in class last week.

Students who missed the HIS test last Wednesday can rewrite the test today at lunch. For GEO students who miss tomorrow's test on Energy and for HIS students who do not take advantage of today's rewrite, the final rewrite days will this Thursday, February 5 and Thursday, February 12. Term marks must be entered shortly thereafter, so I cannot offer rewrite opportunities beyond this final date.

Students who were absent from today's HIS test on the Renaissance need to get caught up on one of the following days: Thursday, January 29 (tomorrow) OR Monday, February 2 at 11:50 AM in Room 229. Students who miss tests and do not attempt rewrites will receive a mark of ZERO, so please make sure you get caught up if you were away, OK?

The test on the Energy Production will be on Tuesday, February 3, and will cover pages 2 to 31.
