Write down the question as it is written on the board. Write down your answer. If your answer is wrong then it should be corrected because we went over it in class. On the following slides you will find the latest bellringers. There will be more… Not all the pictures, sounds, and video will carry over to this post because it would take up too much space. In some cases the answer is on the slide in others I put the answers on the white board in the classroom. It is the student’s responsibility to make sure that they are writing the answers down and correcting their work. If you are missing answers I suggest talking to a seat partner or a study buddy.
