Unit 2 Dynamics

Anti-green: Must-Do, green: Should-DO, anti-red: Strive-to-Do, and anti-blue: extra help.

80% correct required on the exit ticket to move on to the next lesson. If less than 80% is scored, there is an opportunity to complete more work, review with a Master, or a brief reteach session with Mr. Skapetis.

All activities should be completed cooperatively with 1 partner, unless otherwise noted.

If there seems to be a glitch in my system or thinking, please let me know so this can be a smooth process going forward.
