I hope you are reading a good suspenseful book. Next week I'll be assigning your first distance learning project and it will be a lot easier for you to do if you have already read a good suspenseful book.
Do you understand the "no harm" grading policy?
I have a PDF of your grade from what it was as of work submitted by 3/13. This includes your Poe/Laughton essay that was due on 3/13. Those are graded and the scores are in Power School. (You can revise and request a regrade if you want to.) So, your grade in Power School today is the lowest your grade can be in June.
It is not true that grades can ONLY go up. Between now and June your grade can go up and down. If you don't do your assignments, or do them poorly, your grade can go down. In June though, I will compare the grade you have in Power School to the grade you have right now. The grade you earn then will be the higher of those two grades.
For example, if you have a C now and you do your work well, your grade could go up and stay up. If you don't do your work now your grade will go down, and then in June I will change it back to a C.
Your grade right now is the lowest grade you can earn in June, but you may see your grade rise or fall between now and then.
*IMPORTANT*
Please complete the ATTENDANCE form for THIS WEEK. (You only have to do it once this week.)
Class Assignments:
Monday: Go you your English Journal and add a new entry at the top with today's date. Write an entry about what you think about the "no harm" grading policy. How will it help you or hurt you? What impact do you think it will have on your learning? Do you think it is a good idea or not?
Tuesday: Want a head start on your suspense book project? Start organizing your evidence. (You don't have to do it all today, but get started.) Get a copy of the organizer here. Share it with your teachers.
Wednesday: Most of you still need to create your suspense organizer with the link from Tuesday. Remember to share it with me at jroberts4@sandi.net. Also be sure you did the attendance form for this week linked above. You only have to do it once a week, but if you don't do it by 3pm Friday I have to mark you absent for the whole week.
Thursday: Lets get an update on your reading progress. FILL OUT THIS FORM about your reading. Also, do you remember that last week I gave you a practice Quizizz about suspense? Next week I'm going to give you that same quiz for a grade. Want to PRACTICE some more?
Friday: New discussion question assigned to you in Google Classroom. Go there to answer it. And while you are there fill out the email request form, if you didn't already, to have your stu.sandi.net email turned on.
