Language Acquisition

Avoid complex syntax in question prompts. Use simple sentences and separate out the actual task from the illustrative detail. For example, the second of these prompts is probably more readily understood than the first:

Explain why metals expand when they get warmer and contract when they get cooler, whereas water does the opposite.

Metals expand when they get warmer and contract when they get cooler. Water does the opposite. Explain why.

HS Basketball Nov 28th – Student Helpers

About a month ago the signups for this event was accidentally opened early and we had many students signup – far too many. To rectify this I deleted everyone who signed up early and reopened them a week or so ago. They are now full. Please check to make sure if you are indeed signed up for this activity on Nov 28th. If you originally signed up for these and weren’t able to resign you are welcome to contact me to discuss this. Sorry for any inconvenience.
