Rules
and Grading Policy
Grading:
Students are graded
in the following manner
1) Home work/Class work-----30%
2) Quizzes/Test-----30%
3) Writing/Project-----30%
4) Independent Reading/Journals----10%
Expectations:
1) Vocabulary: Students are
responsible for completing vocabulary assignments on a weekly basis.
They are given a vocabulary quiz on Friday.
2) Late/Missed Work:
I do not accept late
work.
The assignments must be turned in when they are due. If a student
is absent they are responsible for retrieving and completing any missed
work. If the student fails to do so in a timely manner they receive a
zero for the missed assignments.
3)
Preparation: Students are
expected to come prepared to class. This means that they need a
notebook, the text we are currently reading, and a writing utensil.
Coming to class unprepared results in a detention.
4)
Independent Reading:
At the start of every class we do 10 minutes of silent reading. Each
student is expected to come to class with their reading book. Through
out the quarter they will complete several small assignments for this
book. Additionally there will be a larger "book project" at the
the end
of the quarter.
5)
Homework: In addition to
the vocabulary homework students are expected to do a good deal of
reading at home. When I assign reading for homework, I often give a pop
quiz the next day in class. If a student fails to do the assigned
reading they will be unprepared for the class discussion/activities .
They will also probably fail the quiz. To make matters
worse, I
often give a writing assignment after we have discussed a story
or
novel. Failure to do the reading will make it difficult to complete the
writing assignment. As you can see it is very important for students to
complete the reading assignments as they are given.
