Welcome back! Your grade for each quarter will be calculated as follows: 60% = Major Grades. This category may include:
Learning Log/Notebook Grades: Learning Logs will be incorporated into Interactive Notebooks. The learning log/notebook will contain notes from flipped instruction lessons, notes from in-class lessons, practice sheets/problems, mastery quizzes, and reflections. The overall quality and completion of the learning log/notebook activities will result in 1 grade. There will be 1 learning log/notebook grade per unit (usually 2 per quarter).
Choice Board Activities: These are project-based activities that will be completed each unit. You must choose 3 activities from each board (6 activities per quarter). The activities cover a range of topics and learning styles. Activities may be completed individually or by groups (depending on the activity).
