Project Proposal Work Time

Goal: Work on project proposal

Agenda:

Continue working on project proposal

Project Proposal:

Some of you had a chance to start this yesterday, but if you didn't, today is definitely the day you should start.
Open your copy of the PROJECT PROPOSAL TEMPLATE if you started it yesterday. It should be in your Google Drive. Share it with your teachers if you did not already do that.
Be sure it is named correctly. (READ the directions on the doc.)
If you did NOT start this yesterday you need to get the PROJECT PROPOSAL TEMPLATE. (Read the directions on it.)
Your finished proposal will be reviewed/graded during class on Friday when your group meets with Mrs. Roberts.

Reminders:
Yesterday: Initial Ideas form due (you still need to submit this if you were absent).
TOMORROW: Project Proposal Template Due

Monday, May 6th: Final Projects due + class presentations begin

Keep Reading. Finish book #10 by 5/6.

Gradebook Explained

My grade book is on Power School for you to view. There are some things you need to know.

If you have a blank score or missing score that is not bad. Often scores are left blank when I do not grade an assignment right away. Sometimes blanks mean a student was absent for an in class experience. The point is do not panic about blank or missing scores.

Zeros however, are a real problem. Students get zeros when they do not turn in an assignment that they should have done. Zeros usually appear after I have asked the student several times to get the work finished. Students can sometimes undo a zero by turning in the work late. Some assignments can be regraded. See the button at the top of the blog to request a re-grade.

Often I do not enter many assignments until the end of the grading period when projects we have been working on for a few weeks become due. I try to enter progress grades every few weeks into the "progress category." Note that the progress category is only 10% of the total grade. Low scores on progress grades indicates that a student needs to improve their work before the final project is due.

Grade categories are weighted as follows:

50% Writing & Speaking (Essays, some in class assessments, and speaking assignments.)

40% Reading & Listening (Book reviews and reading progress and some listening assessments.)

10% Progress (writing draft grades, turning in required paperwork, some formative assessments)

Student grades are based on meeting grade level standard proficiencies. This is not a points or numbers game. There is no extra credit, but there may be additional opportunities to show proficiency.

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