• HW – Nightly CQ’s
What is a CQ?
• Each lecture starts with a “CQ” which is a critical
question.
• The CQ is what we answer each day, the objective of the
lesson. By the end of the lesson, students should know
the answer to the CQ.(Notes)
• CQ’s are very important! Each night students will once
again answer the CQ for HW. CQ HW’s are worth 10
points each and accumulate quickly. They are to be
e-mailed to me before the next class.
Finally….
• Communication between parent and teacher is

you may have.
