"Imagine the choices you’d make if you had no fear—of failing, of losing, of being alone, of disapproval." Grading:
Students will be evaluated on class work and independent reading (25%), homework (25%), and assessments & projects (50%). Students will receive letter grades of “A,” “B,” “C,” or “I” for incomplete or poor quality class work & projects, quizzes & tests (below 70%). * |
Homework:
Homework (including read aloud log) will be assigned daily (except for Fridays). Completed homework is due the following day unless otherwise indicated and will be graded on a point system according to the number of correct responses. Some activities will be videotaped or photographed as an instructional tool. Makeup Policy:
Fore each day absent, a student has the equal number of days plus one to make-up any missed assignments. Students who are absent from school on a published assignment due date must turn the assignment in when they return to school and may be subject to a grade penalty. Tests and other make-up work may be completed during lunchtime and/or afterschool by appointment only. Internet Use:
Students will be using the Internet and other related reading/research activities. Stephen Decatur’s computer usage policy will be strictly enforced. |
