Scribe Duty

Scribe Duty is a responsibility that each student must participate in. It seeks to build a sense of civic duty (similar to the responsibility of Jury Duty that adults must fulfill), a sense of classroom community and continuity, and serves as a record log of what our class has studied over the course of the year.
Please do not take your Scribe Duty days lightly. When you are adults, and if you fail to show up for Jury Duty, you will be liable to be held in contempt of court and fined. As a student in my class, if you fail to complete your Scribe Duty assignment, you will penalized by losing points. Scribe Duty does play an important part in your class grade - do not dismiss it!
You will be given the opportunity to sign up for Scribe Duty at the start of the semester. When the day comes close, you will receive a reminder slip. It is highly recommended that you record your Scribe Duty dates in your HW planner or school calendar in advance.
When it is your day for Scribe Duty, you will need to post an entry on this blog. Include the day's agenda, as well as a quick run-through of what happened in class. As much as it is in my power as your teacher, I will try to excuse you the last 5 minutes of class to complete this task -- but I cannot absolutely guarantee this.

Scribe Notes are DUE by 5pm of that day.
(Remember - your post onto this blog will be recorded down to the exact minute.)
