examples?Answer Spanish questions in Spanish.Or raise your hand if
you need to speak EnglishAll students begin with a 100-point
nine-week participation grade. Late Work Policy:Any work received
after the due date is considered late work.Exceptions:If you were
absent the day it was due, and were here when it was assigned, then
you must turn it in the first day you are back in class. If it is
not turn in at that time then it is late.If you are absent for a
several days, then you will have a reasonable amount of time to
turn your work. 1 to 1 weeks NOT 3 weeks!Any late work will receive
80% credit of their score. Example: Your homework score was 10/10
(100%) x .80= 80%.
Redo PolicyIf you have a 79% or lower on any homework, quiz or
test, you can retake it. If you want to retake a quiz or test I
require that you set up a time with me to come in and go over the
quiz/test so we can see how you can do better. There will date
posted when I will no longer accept any retakes or missing work. It
will be your responsibility to keep track of your grade and missing
assignments. Times for coming in and redoing or making up work will
be posted weekly on the class Sign Up clipboard by the door. It
will be the students responsibility to sign up.
Missing Work Policy:If you have an excused absence:You have that
many days that you were absent for to make up that work and turn it
in. Example: Sally was absent for two school days. Thus Sally has
two school days to get work made up. If you have an unexcused
absence:You can turn in any work and make-up tests but any work
turned in will be considered late.
Extra Credit PolicyTypically the only extra credit that I give
is a bonus question on a test of quiz. But for whatever reason
wants/needs to bring up their grade (letter or citizenship), one
can bring in following:1 box of Kleenex1 box of pencils1 package of
lined paper1 box of colored pencils/markers1 box of whiteboard
markers 5 days of the weekday comics of the Gazette.
Help Sign UpHelp Sign Up gives you the opportunity to come in
for help, make up work etc. Since I cant keep track of 150 students
and their schedules, the sign up lets me know that I need to be
somewhere.TIPS:Make sure you check the schedule first to see if Im
available.If you sign up dont forget. Students who sign up and
forget to come in will get a referral.If you are signing up to come
in before or after school, make sure your ride knows.
