Legislative Branch

Note: Download the document at the top of this page first. It gives students the chance to see how many points are missing as well as a checklist of possible tasks in which they can gain points back.
Instructions: If you are missing any work from the Legislative Branch Unit, you may use this page as an opportunity to make up those points. Although the assignments may be slightly different, the content will be the same. This page is not meant for extra credit. It is meant to give you opportunity to complete missing tasks.
If you are missing points in the practice category, you may do any of the activities in the 'Practice Score Opportunities' section. You'll get ten points for each activity you complete and send a picture of through e-mail. You can only make up enough points to satisfy the tasks that are missing (example: If you are only missing one ten point assignment, you can not do three practice tasks). However, if a practice score is 30 points, you'd have to complete three of these practice tasks in order to obtain all of those points.
If you are missing points within the process category, there are two options to allow you to make up work. One of these involves videos. The other involves research links. You may get up to 15 points per task completed and make up practice points for any tasks that are missing in that category (if you are missing a 30 point process assignment, you can do two of these tasks).
If you are missing product scores, there is a project assignment you can do with some flexibility to it. You will also be given the option to make up any assessments, as instructed within that category.
If what you need goes beyond what is on this page, reach out to me at [email protected] so that I may help you. I want to make sure each of you have the opportunity to be successful during this time and fully believe that you can!
