Expository Book Grades

A few students reading one another's books on the day we turned them in :)

 

Hi Folks-
Expository book grades have been posted.  I will hand these out on the Tuesday that we return from our long holiday weekend.  While many of the books were impressive and creative- the focus of this grade was to assess what students knew about "how-to" research and organization this information correctly. 

The following is a link to the rubric, which was sent home in previous Weekly Newsletters.  It has also been posted on my blog since November 19th (when the project was first introduced). http://drgilchristsclassblog.blogspot.com/2013/11/expository-book-project-requirements.html 

Here were all of the links and class lessons we did surrounding "how to cite properly."

Here's the good news-

If your grade was lower than a 70, you can resubmit for the highest grade of a 70 (30 point deduction). 

If your grade was a 70 or higher, you can resubmit for half credit. 

Here's what to do- Look at what you missed, and look closely at the expository book project requirements that were given to you on the blog way back in November.  Do what is required for the project and enhance your grade.

ALL RESUBMISSIONS ARE DUE JAN. 27th. 

FYI- Other grades left in the MASTERY category this 9-weeks are a Notebook Test, Poetry Test, and Poetry Recitation Grade.  You'll have many chances to improve your grade.  Pay attention in class, ask questions, and study!
