B.+Homework

= Homework Page =

I will be listing your homework on this wiki page. All homework assignments will be posted here before 5:30pm on the evening following a class session. It is each student's responsibility to check this page and to read wiki mail for any updates If you use your //yoman//, be sure to remind yourself to check this wiki page in your notes there

Homework will be assigned weekly. Most often, homework will be posted shortly after the school day ends so that it can reflect the progress the class has made. Homework assignments are due on the date posted with the assignment. Homework assignments will always be announced in class and then posted on the wiki.
 * Homework Schedule:**

Homework assignments will be graded according to two scales. For smaller assignments, I use the √+, √, √-, I system, which correspond to grades A, B, C, and INCOMPLETE, just on a smaller scale. Larger assignments will be graded with letter grades from A range to C range. All incomplete homework will be given a grade a **I** and returned to you for completion.
 * Homework Grading:**

Students who have incomplete work lasting over more than one additional class session will be sent to study hall to complete the work. Late assignments result in the lowering of a grade unless a prior arrangement for illness or other reason has been made with me. Two late assignments will result in a call/email home to parents.
 * Incomplete Homework:**

In the table below, you will find all of your homework assignments listed with the most recent assignment at the top. I will assign a row to each week, as you will see below. The columns will be assigned to different subjects

UPDATED October 5th || Man in the Mirror - Go to the Man in the Mirror page of the wiki and follow the steps and instructions there for how to complete the assignment. All the details are there. Even though we do not have class for several weeks, you will be submitting work to me on-line, so we don't need to have a class for you to give it to me, so watch the deadlines carefully.

I have altered the assignment for Part 2. See it on the page and work on completing it by October 12th. || Wed., October 12th || 6B - Fri. Sep. 23rd || Find the Packet "Understanding T'shuva in the Mishna" either in your binder or on the wiki. Read through pages 1-3 and answer all the questions on those three pages. Bring the completed pages into class. You do not need to turn this in via google docs.

Your order of the 7 steps of t'shuva and the paragraph explanation should be shared with me in a google doc by the deadline listed in the next column as well. || 6A - Thu, October 6th 6B - Fri, October 7th I will come and collect it before dismissal) || 6B - Fri. Sept. 16th || Review the texts we read in class from Rambam's Laws of //t'shuva (Halakha 1,2,6).// Underline or highlight in the texts the words that refer to the steps of //t'shuva//. Remember that there is one step in //Halakha 1// & //6// and the rest are in //Halakha 2//. Bring to class a list of the steps in an order that makes sense to you with an explanation for why you ordered them in the way that you did. Do not assume that Rambam put the steps in order when he was writing. Make an order that YOU think is logical. Not repeating the same mistake when in the same situation is the LAST step. || 6A - Thu., Sept. 22nd
