DBQ Essays:

US Atomic Bombing of Japan.
- This will be assessed on a scale of 0 - 10.
- You will get a 9, 9.5 or a 10 if you come to class on time and get to work.
- Respect the teacher by not talking while the teacher is giving direction to the class.
- In general being a cooperative, hardworking student.


- You will be assessed less than 10 if you do not show up to class on time and ready to work.
- Are constantly talking in class while teacher is talking, giving directions and giving instruction.
- Are generally non cooperative, do not work hard in class and interfere with the instruction of other students.
- If I have to constantly call out your name and tell you to be quiet while I am speaking - you can bet you will not get a good grade here.
- Also students who are consistently late and/or consistently absent receive a lower grade here. If you are absent more than 5 or so times in one marking period, that is too much, and it will be noted on the comment section of your report card (excessively absent).
There are 6 marking periods a year; 5 absences times 6 marking periods = 30 absences a year. Try that in the real world and you won't have a job. No sympathy for that many absences.
