GRADING POLICY

Grades will come from a variety of student activities and evaluations:

quizzes, chapter/unit test, projects,current events,

daily geography, homework,and the nine weeks test.

The report card grade will be based on the following percentages:

HOMEWORK and DAILY GEOGRAPHY

TEST and PROJECTS -----80%

EXAM------------20%

Homework is generally a completion of work started in class. The

assignment will be checked at the beginning of the next day's

class. Students begin each nine-weeks with 100 points for

homework. Each time they do not have their assignment points

will be deducted from their grade.

Daily Geography consist of two or three questions daily that are

answered in class using an atlas. Every Friday the questions are

checked and graded.

Stutents will maintain a manila folder in my filing cabinet. They will keep

all graded papers in the file. The folders are intended to help them

keep up with their grades and a place for parents to view their child's

work. The folders do not go home.
