Week 1

Pretest

Today we are going to take a Maps, Charts, and Graphs Pretest. This test has examples of maps, charts, and graphs that we will be learning about in class this school year. Today is a pretest to see how much you already know about them. We will take this same test again at the end of the semester to see how much knowledge you gain over the course of the semester.

Your username is your first name, your last name, 306     There are no commas and no spaces. For example, my username would be:  jacobosborne306

Yours should look exactly like that except you will insert your first and last name instead of mine.

You must use your official school name. For example, if your name is William, but you go by Will, you must use your proper name William.

If you have 2 last names, make sure you use both last names on your log-in. For example: If your name is Jose Reyes-Lopez, you would need to put josereyeslopez and then the number 306.

Your password is your Mosis #.

After you log-in, it will ask you for a secret word. The secret word is:   pretest

Here is a link to the test.

Whenever you finish your test press “Submit”. You don’t have to tell me or show me your score. I have access to all of the scores.

After the Test

After you submit your test you may:

1. Read a book

2. Work on homework

3. Visit class links/Google Earth

Week 1

Core Concepts

If you didn’t finish Core Concepts, get that done first today. You should already be finished with it so if you aren’t try to speed up a little bit.

Google Search

Today you need to work on the Google Search assignment. You can access it at Google Classroom. You will have the whole class period today and about half the class period on Thursday to finish. Then we will go over it together as a class and I will give tips on how to be more effective using Google. I will not help you with answers because I want to see if you can find them yourself.

Tomorrow

Tomorrow we will be in the computer lab next door. We will be taking our SLO Pretest. That is a test that will give us a baseline or starting point. It will not be for a grade.
