•Note the definitions and concepts that will be on the final are all found in the PowerPoints that were attached on a  previous assignment.

•Additionally, you will have one articles to read and take notes on.  No studying for that.

1. We will finish playing the Vocab Game we started on Friday.
2. Heads-up - On Tuesday and Block day you will create a study guide for another class.  You can do it for more than one class if needed.  Please bring material from another class.
• Should you not bring material from another class an alternative assignment may be given dealing with reading articles and taking notes.  So I advise bringing in other work.
• Study guide can be a word document with a table, word document with an outline, Word brochure.
3. Each day this week I will give a keyboarding assessment or two. 
4. HEADS-UP - Homework Assignment - see separate assignment due on day of final.

◦As stated earlier you may choose to do any combination of Word tables, outlines, or brochures. 

◦As far as the length goes - stick to single spaced because I am going to try and let you print them out at the end of the block day.  No more than3 pages (upper classmen 4) altogether and it should be thorough.  I will be using my own judgment as to the quality and quantity.  If you could take these into an exam you would want it to be thorough and filled with the more challenging information.

◦ALTERNATIVE.  Should you not have brought any material from another course you must watch the DVD about Climate change.  I will give you a sheet to take notes on and this will replace the study guide grade.  So your notes should be nicely done. 

1. Type up some more technical terms
2. Game time - use the wordbank to help play a game

1. Today you will work on two things - One study for your final and the other typing.
2. First the entire class is going to copy and paste a folder that contains 5 PPT flash Card Vocab presentations.  Please click on your folders and then find the folder called Vocab-PPT-Study-final.
• Right click and copy.
• Go to your documents folder and paste this folder into your own area. 
• Next do a SAVE as on the attached wordbank PDF and save it into your own area under the folder you just pasted.
• Open the wordbank - You are going to right click on a few words that you have no clue what they are about and pick a color for "No Clue".  Now click on a few words that you think you have a 50/50 chance of getting and choose a color for "50/50", now pick another color and use it on a few words that you think are "So Easy"  It is up to you if you want to add another color but everyone should have at least these three.
• Now pick one of the PPTs to play and see if you can get the correct word.  For each word go highlight it on the Wordbank PDF to remind yourself of the harder ones.
• Between today and tomorrow you will play all of the games.
3. Now at about 20 minutes left of this class all students who have not hit 45 wpm must switch over to typing.  I will be taking an assessment tomorrow.  Those who are above 45 can continue working with flash card ppts if they want.
