Do Now Prompts
If you are absent from class, it is your responsibility to complete any missing assignments.  I will collect and grade your Do Now responses after every five classes.  Use this page to complete any missing Do Nows.  When finished, place your work in your Do Now folder next class.  You will not receive any credit for missing Do Nows after they are collected and graded.  If you are present in class and decide not to complete your work, you can't use this page to make up the work.  This is only for students who were absent for a legitimate reason.
