Summer To-Do and Homework



I am looking forward to the first day of school. Completed the following things before the first day of school. These should not take more than a few minutes. 

1. Subscribe to class blog. Use the feature on the left called “follow by email” Submit your email address to receive an automated email when new assignments and articles are posted on the class blog. You will need to confirm your subscription to each blog. If you need help with this just let me know. You may prefer using an RSS reader to follow the blog.
2. Make sure I have your preferred email.
3. Accept my invitation to a shared Dropbox folder for convenient way to turn in homework and receive additional support materials during the course. (Optional but highly reccomended)
4. Review the following posts and complete any necessary steps. 
  • Required Materials- Make sure you come to the first class prepared. 
    • Make sure you have purchased all of the astronomy materials. You may find it helpful to bring the materials to class but this is optional.
  • Extra Credit- Keep your eyes for extra credit opportunities which will sometimes be labeled E.C. throughout the year.
  • Late Work Policy- Make sure you are familiar with the policy. 
  • In Class Activity Rubric- Review what will be expected in-class and during in-class activities. 
  • Student Notebook - Review and come to class with the required supplies set up in your notebook.
5. Homework- 
  • Read Chapter 1 "A Brief History of Astronomy" in Cliffs Astronomy
  • Take notes making sure to leave room to add additional notes during in class lecture.


Looking forward to a great year!
