He had to spend most of a weekend completing the work and re-editing
(four times) his assessment answers. He learned a lesson – at least in the
short term. In the week since then, he’s been striving to complete his work and
even get ahead whenever possible. With the gorgeous fall days, he doesn’t want
to miss a single minute playing with his friends. Many lessons were learned
this unit, but only half of them had anything to do with history.
