This week's Tasks: October 27th - November 2nd, 2014
1. Complete Quiz #: Chapter 21: Fossils and the Rock Record - (DEADLINE to complete is 11:59 pm on November 2nd) using the LMS (Based on Chapter 21 Study Guide). Remember that you will only have one attempt to complete all quizzes. You also only have 20 minutes to complete, so make sure that you have completed the reading and study guide before you attempt any quiz in this course.
2. Open, read and complete all handouts for the following Powerpoint slideshows.
a. PPT: Earth's History (student worksheet)
3. Complete Chapter 22 Study Guide, Chapter 23 Study Guide & Chapter 24 Study Guide
you will need to print this directly or you can complete it using google docs. Although I will not be collecting or evaluating the Study Guides, I highly recommend completing them as I often use questions directly from these guides on quizzes and unit tests. These guides are useful for keeping up with all course content. NOTE: Next week you will have a quiz based on all three of these chapters.

Students are also expected to make specific references to external websites, journal articles, books or magazines that support their point of view (doing so will help you achieve that LEVEL 4!)
