And the ear saga continues. . . what will Mrs. Steigerwalt learn about her ear at today's appointment? Will her hearing return? Will you ever see her again???? (Ok, the answer to that last one is YES, I'll be back later today).

Here's what you're doing in the meantime. ..

What you'll need today:
 * assignment book
 * pencil
 * headphones (only for step 1)
 * any work you owe me

Step 1: Watch this video to find out what the homework is and what you're doing today. If the video doesn't work, you can always hop over to my homework page to get the info!

Step 2: If you owe me any work, please put it in the Things 4 Me basket next to my desk. Remember! If you want the work to be cleared before the trip, you must turn it in/submit it by 8:00 TOMORROW MORNING!!

Step 3: You're going to play an awesome review game to help you prepare for your Lightning Thief test! Bonus points will be given to anyone who gets a 90% or higher on the game! To play:

1. Open @http://join.quizizz.com in your browser

2. Enter the 6-digit game code 196729, and click "Proceed" (Hint: highlight that code and hit Ctrl C to copy it, then you just have to use Ctrl V to paste it, not actually remember it!) I've also written the code on the board for you.

3. Now enter your name and click "Join Game!" **Please use your full first and last name (the one I call you) so that bonus points can be awarded!**

4. You will be given a random avatar, and then see a "Start Game" button. Click it to begin!

5. As you play, you will earn points for quick, correct answers. You will see your place on the leader board and how you're doing compared to others - everyone will get the questions in a different order, so no trying to cheat from people around you!! Oh, and it's one GIANT game for ALL of my classes - so don't be surprised if you see your friends from other class periods (or even me!) on your leader board stats!

6. This game will stay open tonight in case you want to try it again to help you study!

7. If you are in period 4 and heading to lunch, or if you need to go to the bathroom or something in the middle of the game, follow these directions to pause:
 * In the top right corner of the screen, next to the game code, click the X
 * When it asks if you want to exit, click on Yes
 * You will see a box asking for the game code pop up
 * Go to lunch, the bathroom, whatever
 * When you come back, enter the game code again
 * It will ask if you want to resume your game
 * Say Yes!
 * Continue playing the game from where you stopped.

Step 4: If you finish the game and there is still time left in class, please use it wisely:
 * Work on Vocab Unit 14 bookwork (due tonight by midnigh)
 * Work on Getting to the Root of It packet (due Monday in class)
 * Work on things you owe me (due tomorrow by 8:00 AM)
 * Study for your test!
