1 7th Grade Life Science Grade Remediation Packet Purpose of this packet If you have received this packet it is because you are currently or in jeopardy of failing this class. This is not a punishment, but an opportunity and I hope you take full advantage of it. This packet will not be easy and it shouldn t be. This is a tool to not only help you learn the material but also to remind you that actions, as well as inactions, have consequences. Right now, the only consequences may be that you are held back to repeat this grade while your friends move on to 8 th grade. This may seem bad enough, but as you grow older the consequences become more severe with fewer people around to offer you a second chance or the help you need to succeed. So, don t be angry with your teacher because this packet is a symbol of their caring and sincerest hope that you will choose to do well, choose to do your work and in the end, choose to have an extraordinary life. Choose the life you want then MAKE IT HAPPEN! INSTRUCTIONS Complete all sections in the packet that are highlighted below.
