Hurricane Florence Make-Up Guidelines - UPDATED

• Students with missing work should begin with the current module and then complete missing work once the current module is done.  Remember to use daily announcements for current as well as for missing work - use your resources!
• Late work penalties will not apply to Modules 1-8.  Late work penalties will resume with Module 9 - keep me posted if this is an issue due to Hurricane Michael.
• If your county is one of over 30 districts in the state that was declared a federal disaster zone as a result of Hurricane Florence and chose to take advantage of the General Assembly's offer to waive 10 or 20 days, your grade book has been edited to meet the waivers and you as well as your parents and school have been notified by email.  You will notice that you are part of a 10 Day Modified or a 20 Day Modified section within our course if you are in one of those 30 counties.  It will not change your work - it is there to help me and other stakeholders know your circumstances.

Facing obstacles is not easy - this activity is designed to help you figure out how you faced an external obstacle in the past.  Remember that only I read what you share for this activity.  Be sure to fully explain your ideas and to address what you have learned about external obstacles as you evaluate how you handled this obstacle.  Be sure you address the quote as well so.
