Thursday, 10/15/15: Day 1 of Unit 1 Performance Task

Today students began their performance task for the first unit, on linear functions.  As indicated in earlier posts, I was not supposed to give parallel review coming into this task.  Accordingly, I will be sensitive in grading this task, keeping in mind that the students are taking this "cold."  (I know that grading is a major concern for both my students and their parents.  This is a growth opportunity, but not a situation where I want my students facing a major hit to their grades.)  No formal homework is assigned tonight, although students can be reviewing our upcoming lesson, 9-1.
