Practicing Persuasion and Collaboration

Today's Goal: Work with your PSA group to practice selling an idea and working together with a deadline.

The Plan:

Read!
Vocab Test
Infomercial Activity
A bit of writing/discussion
Talk about your PSA Proposal (Due Nov. 4)

You don't have homework except to read and discuss the PSA with your group. Get on a group chat, start a group text, email each other, do whatever you need to make sure you are in contact and know how to access each other.

Gradebook Explained

My grade book is on School Loop for you to view. There are some things you need to know that will hopefully clarify some things.

I = Incomplete, and may not be made up. An I is worth 30% of the total points available for an assignment. This is a department criteria and policy.

M = Missing, and should be made up or turned in for at least partial credit. The assignment is worth a zero until the work is completed.

Ab = Absent, and should be made up or turned in in a timely manner. The assignment is worth a zero until the work is completed.

Blank scores mean I have not graded it yet.

Zeroes occur when students do not turn in assignments that they are expected to submit. Regardless of when it is due, students are expected to complete the assignment.

Sometimes a score given on a minor assignment is not ideal. For students willing to put in the work, they are welcome to talk with me about redoing certain assignments.

I hope this will resolve some confusion. Of course, if you have questions about grades please e-mail me!
