So, Alex, Pedro, Wally and Bryan: Homework due Tuesday is a report on the mandatory health insurance provision of the PPACA. How will it work (including what is the penalty)? What is the purpose of requiring everyone to have or buy health insurance (beyond making sure everyone has decent health care)?
I should not have to say this as you are all in high school, but you must write this yourself. Downloading and copying from the internet, even if you change a few words, is plagiarism.

I should not have to remind anyone at this point — but since there were students at study session planning to do test repair together: No collaboration on test repair. No collaboration on homework. That’s cheating, pure and simple. No collaboration except on notes and group projects.
CARD MAGES CHAPTER 19 – ITALIAN TRECENETO
Please get these images pasted up and identified with reading notes over the weekend. We will be moving very quickly and will start this as soon as we finish Gothic Art.
Test repair is due M/T. You can download it and copy and past the questions and wrong and right answers, or you can type it from scratch. Make sure you follow the new required format and have substantive explanations like the examples I provided for your wrong and corrected answers.

This year there are an extraordinary number of students who cannot seem to understand what is required for test repair. Therefore, the following format is now mandatory for everyone:
APUSH:
5. The Bank of the United States was based on the constitutional doctrine of
My answer: B, checks and balances, is wrong because that doctrine refers to the division of powers among the three branches of the federal government, not to the power of Congress to create a bank.
Correct answer: C, implied powers, because Congress has no express power to create a bank, but has implied power to do it under Commerce and Necessary and Proper Clauses.
APAH (same format but just in case I give you an example):
63. The Arch of Constantine differs from the triumphal arches of earlier emperors in its
My answer: B, inclusion of Christian iconography is wrong because although Constantine tolerated Christianity, he did not officially convert to it until he was on his deathbed. Thus there is no explicit Christian iconography in imperial art from his reign.
Correct answer: A, tripartite structure, because Constantine’s arch is divided into three sections, unlike earlier imperial arches, such as the Arch of Trajan, which are undivided.
The word “I” should not appear in test repair. Explanations are substantive as in the above examples, not “I made a mistake” or “it’s in the book.”
Mock Trial Team: I expect you to have those charts finished and ready to start the first dry run by the middle of the first class next week (W). Witnesses, this means you need to have your statements and all information on the documents MEMORIZED.
Students doing the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act project: If you turned in complete briefs of the Commerce Clause cases Friday that you had over three hours to work on, you will be doing this project. Otherwise, you will have Zs for every part of it. If you turned in complete briefs, your homework is a short report on the mandatory-insurance provision of the Act, due W. And of course, if you don’t do that, you will have Zs on every subsequent step of this project. This is an honors class and nobody is going to get away with not working hard in it.
The Unit 9 secondary-source DBQ homework you started in class on the 19th & 20th is due Tuesday the 24th for all classes, including 6th period. As I explained to 6th period, it would not be fair for you to have four days for this and the other classes only three, so you must drop it off on Tuesday.
Unit 9 PHD HW will be due Friday the 27th.
The new homework rules apply to both of the above assignments and to all assignments from now on.
You should all have completed the Unit 9 reading by now. The wise student will have it completed by Tuesday.
Get started reading Unit 10. Here are the Unit 10 and Unit 11 Key Terms and People to know.
Your next Unit Test will cover Units 9 – 11.
Early Medieval and Romanesque card sets and worksheets are due Friday –the new homework rules will apply so do those charts completely, including historic context, and the discussion questions unless you want to see your grade tank.
Please get the Gothic image cards pasted up over the long weekend, too, because we will start that as soon as we finish Romanesque. Here are the Gothic card images and vocabulary.
Some of you will see the comment “Does not complete assigned work” on your grade report even though you turned something in for every assignment. But if you did not do the discussion on worksheets, you did not complete those assignments so you got the comment. I am addressing here the people who had As first quarter and not second quarter.
