My grading policy is as follows:
Quizzes are worth 20% of the final
grade.
Quizzes are at least weekly. I will drop the lowest quiz grade of each ten
week period.
Homework is worth 20% of the final
grade.
For most classes, I will assign homework three times a week. I seldom
assign homework on Friday. If homework is 1 day late, a student may only earn up
to a 85%. If 2 days late, a student may only earn up to a 75%.
After two days, a student may only earn up to 50% of the grade.
Students are still encouraged to complete the assignment because they can
benefit from the practice and 50% is better than 0%.
Speaking is worth 20% of the final
grade.
Our speaking grades will consist of cards and speaking activities. Cards
or speaking activities are done almost every week. Each class has different amount of cards
due. Each card represents a grammatically correct and level appropriate
sentence. Class time is devoted to this but students may come in any
previously scheduled tenth period to avoid speaking in front of their
peers.
Tests and Projects are worth
30% of
the final grade.
Tests are traditional tests that may or may not involve speaking or listening
activities. Projects will be assigned at times in place of tests and will
be graded by a class made set of guidelines. Each project will have unique
guidelines decided upon by the class and me.
Journals are worth 10%
of the final grade. Students will be graded by and have been given
guidelines appropriate for their grade level. These correspond with the
New York State Languages Other Than English Standards.
