What’s Happening to Our Grades?
In class today, we talked about the extreme drop in performance that we are experiencing in language arts. As of right now, we have 42 students on our team who are in danger of failing language arts for the 3rd nine week period. We talked a lot about the cause for this sudden drop in grades and in every situation, we are able to trace it back to one very specific reason: failure to turn in assignments.
Several of you did not turn in all of your poetry station assignments and are now seeing the consequence for that decision. You have all asked if you can still turn the work in and as always, the answer is yes. There will, however, be a 10 point deduction from all late assignments, so make sure you do your absolute best because those 10 points don’t come off of a 100%; it comes off of whatever grade you earned on the assignment!
All of your technical writing station instructions are located on the blog under the daily assignments/today’s task page.
