The Honor System and Chapter 1 Test

We decided to do things a bit differently today with the Chapter 1 test. In years past I've just given the test out and they've had one 45-minute period to complete it. And, usually, kids are rushing to finish. So we talked it over and the kids had half of the period today and all of the period tomorrow to finish their test. We also made it into an open-note/open-book test. And we developed our own "honor code" - to ensure that no one feels tempted to get help from their peers or others. (See the picture above.)

Now, they are not required to work on their test at home, but it might not be a bad idea. As the code states, they must finish their tests by 10:20a tomorrow. Questions? Give me a call!
