Complete today's agenda in order.

1.  Vote on the 8th Grade Gift to the school.  We are trying to narrow down a long list to the top two or three.  Click here to vote.

2.  Were you absent on Friday? Please make up the test now.

3.  Today you must turn in your "Seasons" Exploration Guide, and you must answer the five questions at the bottom of the Gizmo. 

4.  Some of you are required to complete a survey for the State Department of Education.  I will let you know who you are. 

     a.  Open these instructions and CAREFULLY follow them.  (If the Word version does not open, try this PDF version.)

     b.   This link opens the survey.  http://techassessment.ed.sc.gov 

     c.  If you do not know your student ID number, bring your agenda and a writing utensil to me.

5.   Our next unit begins this week.  It will be divided into smaller pieces to make it a little easier for you.  Please take the first two pretests today.  Use the same secret word that you used for your Exploration Guide.

      a.  Earthquakes

      b.  Rocks and Minerals
