For folks still wanting to improve their grade from unit 1 or unit 2, see below.
If you want to retake the unit 1 or 2 exam, you need to complete the Unit Reflections in Google Classroom. Then, look at your responses and scores from the Unit 1 exam and explain what you would do improve your responses to Mr. Restad.

If you want to raise your 1.4 vocabulary skill, you have to have your Book Vocab done and show me all the words you identified from the Great Gatsby.

Check out this grade improvement form as an idea I'm floating.

Reminders and tips for success

Reminders, if you want to use your phone, write me that essay.
Collaboration is encouraged as you work on the practice and review skills. The only thing you need to do on your own is the mastery check.
Build a routine for learning, not completing assignments; don’t just go through the motions
Use metacognitive strategies
- Test yourself
- Use notes and retrieval practice as a learning tool
- Reflect/review/evaluate
- Study for the first 5 minutes of each class period
Set a daily goal
- Make it achievable and measurable
- YES! “Complete notes for assignment #202”
- NO! "Work on my assignments"
