Grading Scales and Policy

Your grade in this class is in YOUR hands. Typically, the harder you work, the better you will do!

__**Homework 15%**__

If you attempt all parts of each assignment and follow directions, you will earn full homework points. Each assignment is typicall y worth 4 points. I do not give credit for late homework, so make sure to do it! If you are ill or absent, you have one day for each day you miss to get the homework in. Fior instance, let's say you are sick on Tuesday. You have one day Wednesday to catch up so the missing work is due Thursday. I will post the HWon the HW web each night andif you miss any materials from class, I will put those in your student mailbox. It is your responsibility to get your mail and look through it!

__**Daily Graded Work 15%**__

On occasion, an assignment will be worth more and be graded. This might be a creative writing assignment or a short paper. You might also have a reading check or another pop quiz.

__**Quizzes 30%**__

You will be quizzed on our vocabulary words and grammar concepts.

__**Literature Quests 40%**__

Not quite tests but more inportant than quizzes are the "lit quests." You will have one per story unit or novel.
