This allows us to work together in groups therefore students are simultaneously engaged in learning within a safe environment.If a student is having trouble following our classroom rules the parents will be contacted by email or phone.GRADINGHomework: 0% of overall grade BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT OF THEIR DAILY SKILL DEVELOPMENT.? I expect students to ALWAYS complete their homework. I only give review work, class work completion, studying for quizzes and tests, and?reading for homework and it rarely requires a lot of time.? Completing homework prepares them for tests. I record homework periodically?as an assignment.? This way you may check on Pinnacle to see if your student is completing and returning homework.Classwork:Cornell Notes will completed at the beginning of each Unit. Students will use a highlighter to identify topic sentences and supporting details in a given article. Then copy them onto a Cornell Note taking sheet.? These are worth 20 points.

This will help strengthen expository reading comprehension skills.Unit Study Guide Packets for each unit will be completed for each Ancient Unit of Study. These follow the chapters of each unit in the social studies textbook.? They are worth 100 points.? Students will be given a grading sheet so that they know what is expected for each section.Geography Challenge Packets for each unit of study with points based on the number of questions and proper map labeling. Comprehension questions must be answered in complete sentences that restate the question and have correct capitalization, punctuation, and spelling.?Assessments/Projects:Weekly or biweekly content and reading strategies tests will evaluate students' study skills and development of?social studies?content.One comprehensive Benchmark test around the 9th week covering skills and strategies to? that point.Projects will be either individual or collaborative group.
