Our first unit of the year will be out of our Savaas My Perspectives textbook (Unit 2: Survival). 
All grades will be posted on Aeries. Grades will be updated weekly. Anticipate 1-2 weeks for written assignments to be graded and posted in Aeries. 
 
Grades are divided into five categories: 
  1. Reading (30%): Reading Comprehension Questions, Quizzes, Tests, Close Reading, Annotations
  2. Writing (35%): Journals, Quickwrites, Outlines, and Essays (Explanatory, Analytical and Argumentative) 
  3. Language (10%): Grammar and Vocabulary
  4. Speaking and Listening (10%): Presentations, Discussions, Debates 
  5. Preparedness, Engagement, Participation (15%): A weekly score for engaging in class and being a productive classroom citizen while following Raider Goals. 
Practice (formative) work will be weighted 30%, while assessments will be weighted 70% and will have a much bigger impact on the overall grade.
