Each student will complete the following assignments working either individually or as a part of a team. When a paper has been scored, the student should record the points earned on the Point Sheet. Most assignments may be corrected in a different color of pen or pencil to gain more points. Do not erase any answers. Write the word "corrected" in the upper right hand corner using a contrasting pen.

Reading Responses: Students are to complete 3 reading responses per quarter. You may choose to respond to assigned chapters or approved articles. Each reading response will consist of Cornell Notes in which you identify at least 5 main ideas and describe them in your own words. Reading responses should meet the following criteria: at least 1 page in length, typed, single-spaced, 12 font, 1” margins, Times New Roman, no more than ¼ of width of page set aside for Cornell Note questions, at least 5 questions related to the main ideas and a 2-3 sentence summary at the end describing how the reading is related to class. There is a template available on my website for your use. These will be submitted to for assessment.
