Grading

• You will be graded on a number of assignments.

• Journals will be required daily. These must be well-developed paragraphs answering the prompt provided. You must keep a notebook for your journals and they will be checked daily. I will combine the journal grades from each week during a nine week period into one grade at the end of that nine weeks. It will be between 50 and 70 points. Each journal is worth 5 points.

• Grammar practice will be daily. You must keep a folder with looseleaf for Test Prep bellworks. This will be a combined grade of 30 points at the end of each nine weeks. 

• Reading, writing, and discussion assignments will be assigned and graded weekly. 

• Essays and larger projects will be assigned once a six weeks, and will typically be worth 100 points.

Late assignments: You will have one letter grade taken off of the assignment for each day it is late. 

After three days, the assignment will no longer be accepted. 

Makeup work: You will have three days to make up assignments from the date of absence. Check the calendar on my website to learn what you missed each day.
