Formative Assessment: 0%

This is for me to see if you understand what you’re doing. We’ll do all sorts of activities to test and see so I can give you feedback on your progress, including anecdotal records, oral responses, lab reports, observational checklists, peer assessments, portfolios, rating scales and self-assessment.

Summative Evaluation: 100%

This is for me to grade for a report card. Once again, we’ll do a variety of activities to test your progress this semester, including projects, quizzes and tests.

If you would like to re-do ANY assignment or test, it is YOUR responsibility to set this up with the teacher.

Within each unit, here is the breakdown:

Type of Assessment / %
Warm-up Quizzes / 5%
Assignments/Quizzes / 25%
Projects/Labs / 30%
Notes / 5%
End of Unit Assessments / 35%

*Evaluation subject to change at teacher’s discretion.

Good Stuff to Know

  • Be kind to each other, the teacher and the educational assistants.
  • Items needed for this class: a pencil, paper, highlighter, and your binder.
  • Assignments need to be handed in when they are due. They can be handed in anytime up until the end of the period. Whatever you’ve got by the end of the period is what is handed in. Otherwise, please hand in an Incomplete Homework Slip. If you know ahead of time that you will not be able to hand in an assignment on time, please talk to me about it and we’ll come to an agreement.
  • Work during the class time given – not at a later time.
  • Extra help is always available! Come by during lunch or after school.
  • Website:
  • If you must miss for class for any reason, you can go to the class website and look up our assignment for the day. This is also a great place to go to study for the quizzes, tests, and exams.

Conclusion: Challenge yourself. Maintain a positive attitude. Be prepared. Listen attentively. Concentrate. Give an honest effort. Do your required homework. Please, if you aren’t “getting it”, ask for help immediately. Take personal responsibility and pride for your education. I am here to allow and assist in your success.
