Post 4: Question of the Week

This week we will finally start "question of the week" or "Q of the W"

This is not mandatory and you will not be graded on it.

Question of the Week

Every week each class will be given a question- one question for social studies classes and one for science classes. Some questions will be similar to those on standardized tests/chapter tests and some questions will be random trivia questions.

You will only receive credit for your class question (science or social studies).

All submissions are due by Friday at the end of the day- unless we tell you otherwise.

In order to get credit you must………

1. Have your name properly written (MLA format) in the upper right-hand corner.
2. Answer the question correctly.
3. Submit your answer by the due date.

I will check the box every day for submissions.

Each time you correctly answer a question you will be awarded points. I will keep track and let you know how many points you have. You can use your points to buy classroom coupons.
