 -past due assignments -

  1. Complete the Perfomance Matters Assessment by accessing it through your student portal.
  2. ​I have graded your blogs.  If you received less than a B in area, that means that there are problems that should be corrected.  It you received less than a C, then you will probably receive a low score on your Cambridge score.  This means you need to go back to your blog and fix the problem.  
  3. Your final blogs should have a complete magazine.  I should not have to flip through it and find your pages.
  4. Your final blog should have interactive media for your reflection questions. If you simply responded in writing, that will be a fail.  Please check over your blogs before I grade them using the Cambridge rubric for your final score.
