Grading Transparency
Hello All,
I want to make sure that everyone is aware of the situation with grading, since the Ice Storm threw us all off.
Grades for the first 6 weeks are due before school on Monday, March 3rd, and cover grades through the 19th of February. What this means:
10th World Lit:
I've graded all of the major (summative) assignments that have been turned in to me except the Character Analysis foldables. The test you took today will not be on this Progress Report, and as such will not be in Synergy until all of the grades that are for this Progress Report are in and caught up.
I am giving you the opportunity to turn in any Doll's House assignments that you've missed for no late credit until Tuesday, 2/18. Part of the craziness was the Ice Storm, which lead to me not being as up to date with Synergy as you all know I like to be, so some of your parents and guardians weren't informed that you hadn't turned stuff in until late. Due to this, you have the opportunity to turn in all late work with No Penalty until Tuesday 2/18. Please utilize this opportunity well. Late penalties will apply starting Wednesday 2/19. Even if you aren't finished, I'd rather grade something than nothing.
I will be here at 7:45 and prepared to let you make up tests, quizzes, and seminars Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday next week. I will be able to stay late on Monday. Please make up whatever you've missed so that it can be recorded on this Progress Report.
Yearbook:
Due to the deadlines piling up on us, I know that Synergy is not what it needs to be. I will be conferencing with students individually during class today, Monday, and Tuesday next week, discussing their pages and assigning grades accordingly.

Week 6
I hope you all had a wonderful, warm, safe, break.
In recovering from the unexpected day's off, we've adjusted the schedule as follows:
Wed 2/19 -- A Doll's House ATA and One Pager #4 due, vocabulary unit 10 and Study Guide assigned.
Thurs 2/20 -- Review for Test, may meet in Writing Lab, check the door
Fri 2/21 -- A Doll's House Test
Monday 2/24 -- One Pager 5, Vocabulary Miniquiz 10
Tues 2/25 -- Begin new unit
With all of the days off, and the craziness the week before the Ice Storm, I'm counting all late work that was due as if it was due last Monday, meaning if you turn it in today, it's only 1 day late. Please turn in whatever you can by Friday so it can be reflected on this 6 weeks Progress Report.

Week 5
I hope everyone was safe and warm last week!
10th World Lit
The calendar has been updated with the changes in the schedule due to Ice Jam 2014. We snagged the lab at various times this week to work on the Argument Paper, and we'll have some time in class to get back in the swing of things. Check the Calendar to get the new due dates.
Yearbook
We have a deadline *today* and we cannot bump it back more than 2 days. You need to get those pages done and submitted by Wednesday.
