PARENTS PLEASE NOTE: Changes may occur to assignments during actual class
instruction and those changes may not always be listed on this page. I will
make every effort to keep homework postings current, but to be on the safe
side, ALWAYS refer to your child's Assignment Notebook.
Explanation of my homework and grading procedures
Typically there is less homework in Religion than in other classes. Most of
what we will do will be done together during class time. Each student is
responsible for recording his or her homework in the Assignment Notebook each
day. If written homework is assigned it will be collected and/or checked on
the day it is due. No credit will be given for late daily homework (except in
the case of an excused absence.)
Student’s quarter and semester grades will be based on their achievement in
the following areas:
DAILY ASSIGNMENTS: 30%
Homework
Activity sheets
Written class work
JOURNAL: Will be graded as a Test:
Weekly Entries: One to two sentence summary of the main idea of the
priest's homily at 1) Every Middle School Level Mass, 2) Every
All School Liturgy ...To facilitate this a Mass Schedule will be provided.
At the end of the quarter the homily writings will be averaged together and
counted as a test grade.
PROJECTS/SUPPLEMENTARY READING*: 10%
Projects will be assigned periodically during the year and be completed
primarily in class *Student may select a book to read from their grade
appropriate reading list (with my help) and complete a “Book Report Form.”
