1. The Inuit Map and Timeline

2. Warm-Up  What will you do to make the last quarter of 6 th grade your best one?

3. Rules Review  To help this quarter be the best it can be, I want to review our class rules and set up some clear consequences  This is not to be a punishment, but rather to help everyone be as successful as they can be  1. Be Respectful:  This includes teachers, students, and other adults; don’t talk when it’s not your turn  2. Be Responsible:  Turning work in on time, with your name on it; taking responsibility and accepting the consequences  3. Be Kind:  Think of how your words and actions might make others feel

4. Consequences: a result or effect of an action  Every choice you make has a consequence, for both you and those around you  It is your decision if those consequences will be positive or negative  Breaking a rule has it’s consequences. Some are what we call a “natural” consequence. An example is that if you don’t do your work, your grade will suffer  Others will have consequences to help you make a better choice.  You get two warnings for your behavior. It does not need to be the same behavior; your first warning could be for talking out of turn (being disrespectful) and the second could be for saying something unkind to a classmate  The third time you will be removed from the classroom and fill out a reflection sheet. You may not return during that class period, and any class work that is done while you are gone is homework  When you have been asked to complete 3 reflections, you will receive lunch detention  These apply to every person in this class, at all time. There are no exceptions. I am not out to get you, but we must all live by certain rules so that everyone can benefit

5. Historical Fiction Projects  Grades are posted in the back of the room; you may check them in a moment  I will not be passing back rubrics  Why? Because if you want to redo or submit anything late, I need the original rubric packet to grade it  You may come in today at lunch to look at your rubric if you would like to  Late work:  You may turn in any part or the entire project for late credit  The part or parts turned in late will have 20% deducted  I will only accept late submissions until next Monday, April 6  Redo work:  You may redo any part or the entire project  Anything that was submitted on time AND received less than 70% of the possible points may be redone for full credit  If you redo one part, you do not have to redo the entire thing (Ex: You may choose to only redo the map, but not the other parts of the project)  Redo work will only be accepted until next Monday, April 6
