Last updated over 1 year ago
3 questions
Note from the author:
Directions: After you attempt the Period 2.1 SAQ on your own in-class, you will have the rest of the class period to work on a final response with your table group for a Mastery grade (80%).
  • All writing should be original, meaning you are not allowed to use Google or copy-paste your answer (otherwise it is considered Academic Dishonesty, which will result in a phone call home, Behavior Log, and 50% on the assignment).
  • While you may refer to your readings and notes as a group, you should paraphrase from the text rather than quote or rewrite sections from the textbook.
