1. Raider Rev Up! Wednesday, January 6th
Today’s instruction is about agriculture. Please pick-up a “KWL” chart and fill in the “K” and “W” sections.
Also, don’t forget to get a textbook from the cart.
#1:
Simply add all scores and divide by the number of grades to determine the overall percentage/GPA
= 420
420/6 = 70%
#2:
(Formative = 30% of the total GPA)
420/6 = 70%
70 x 0.30 = 21 points
(Summative = 70% of the total GPA )
= 210
210/3 = 70%
70 x 0.70 = 49 points
Lastly, add the points from both categories to determine the total GPA
21 points + 49 points = 70%

3. Raider Rev Up! Friday, January 8th
As mentioned yesterday in class, our careless and ignorant farming practices have degraded soils throughout much of the world. In fact, if something is not done soon to stop or reduce this degradation, many scientists think that society in whole will be greatly effected.
With that in mind, what measures do you think that a farmer take to help conserve soil? What measures could the national government take to help to conserve soil? Be prepared to share your thoughts aloud with the class if called upon.
