IF you have already completed one of these late, please be patient, as I am only checking the scores twice (once for on time, and once for late credit at the end of a chapter). I will be checking the scores after the deadline. Please be patient until then for me to update your 'missing' tag, and enter your late credit score. 

*IF you have already completed each of these BrainPOP assignment, there is no need to do anything, nor any need to reply to this message.

If you do complete one of these late, there is no need to message me. Just be sure you can see your score, and I will be able to see it as well when I go in to BrainPOP to view and enter your scores.

LATE BrainPOP (if there are any you have not yet completed)

Hello 8th Mrs. Richard's 8th Gr. U.S History Classes!
 

Late BrainPOPs for a specific chapter can be completed up until the day the assessment/test/end of our study for the chapter.


This coming Tuesday, September 22 at 11:59PM, will be the final day for ALL LATE BrainPOPs to be completed for any credit that we've done so far.

After Tuesday, September 22, you can no longer submit the following BrainPOPS for credit.

1. Columbian Exchange BrainPOP - (originally due: 8/28/20)
2. French and Indian War BrainPOP - (originally due: 9/10/20)
3. Regions of the 13 Colonies - (originally due: 9/9/20)
4. Causes of the American Revolution - (originally due: 9/18/20)

 
If you have NOT YET completed any of these, they can still be completed through September 22 at 11:59PM for late credit.
 

After this date I will not be checking the BrainPOP website for these particular assignments again.

 
BrainPOP is a GREAT learning tool. The downside for teachers is that we have to go check the BP website for the scores for each assignment for each class. Right now, I have 20 different BrainPOP assignments for my history classes to check through. Therefore, for each chapter, the end of the chapter's study will be the end of your window to complete late BrainPOP assignments.
 
Complete any late BrainPOPs now, if you have not already done so!

Thank you for your understanding,
Mrs. Richard
 

P.S. If you are completing BrainPOPs on time, you're good! Don't worry! This message is meant to notify and remind anyone who still has BrainPOP(s) not complete.

:)
