Important Updates for the rest of the Trimester

These are important things you need to keep track of and be prepared for.

PSA Reflections are due Friday night (November 13) by 11:59pm. You do not need to turn them in anywhere. I will grade them on that document (DO NOT make a copy of the document.)
Book Love Reviews are due on Turnitin.com on November 16 by 11:59pm
On Monday, November 16, we'll take at least half the class period to enjoy each other's presence, especially as we will not be in a class together again this year. (I teach 9th graders after this trimester.) I request that if you bring food, you bring enough for everyone. You are not obligated to bring food in any way, and are welcome to the festivities even if you don't.
On Tuesday, you will be doing the writing portion of your final exam. We'll talk about what you need for that on Friday.

Today you will receive the final exam study guide. (Remind me in the last 10 minutes. That would be helpful.)

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!
