Reading/ Writing Six Weeks Project:
Each six weeks students will be assigned a project. This will be a test grade. Their reading project will reflect what they have learned throughout the six weeks. The writing project will be written in the genre for the unit we are studying for that six weeks.
Homework:
Homework will be given and due once a month. Spelling/ Vocabulary homework is due on the DUE DATE LISTED AT THE TOP. Additional ELAR homework for the six weeks, will be to complete any incomplete classwork and will be due the next class period, unless specified. Not completing homework on time will result in detention. If for some reason there is no homework for the day/week the students will be notified. There will also be a vocabulary/spelling test for each unit.
Accelerated Reader (AR):
Each six weeks the students will set a personal AR goal. The minimum amount of this goal is based on their independent reading level and reading an average of 20-25 minutes each night. The percent of their goal they have earned will be a test grade, and their comprehension percentage will be a daily grade. A new goal is generated at the beginning of each six weeks. You MUST meet your goal or this will significantly impact your grade and could result in failing for the six weeks as well as you will receive a lunch detention for no homework !!!
GRADES:
Students will have at least six daily grades and three major grades. Students are allowed to make corrections on daily grades to any student that does not pass an assignment. . They can make corrections on their own in a different color( leaving original answers) and then return an for average grade for the two up to a 70%. Daily grades and major grades are weighted as follows:
