For ELA, you will earn grades in the following areas:
« Formative Assessments- 50%
Formative assessment examples include: Classwork, Homework, & Quizzes
« Summative Assessments- 40%
Summative assessment examples include: Tests, Unit Projects
« Effort/Participation- 10%
Examples include: effective utilization of class time, quality of work, preparedness, and participation in discussions.
Any assignment that is turned in late (1 to 5 days), will receive a maximum score of 80%.
After the fifth day, the students will earn an F for the assignment; however, the assignment will remain missing in the gradebook until the student completes it. Missing assignments will lead to the loss of participation in school activities.
