HIGH SCHOOL WORLD HISTORY/AMERICAN HISTORY (Grading Procedures) Instructor: Mr. Fee Course Length: 1 semester = World History / Full year = American History Grading: Students will be graded on multiple aspects in class. They will have a daily class participation grade, which deals with being on time and on task in the lesson being taught; so their behavior is conducive to learning for themselves and the students around them. The breakdown for this is found at the bottom of the page. Students can also be graded on different assignments dealing with vocabulary, reading, note taking, current events, extended activities, writing activities, map activities, group activities, presentations, quizzes, chapter exams and Final exams/presentations but are not limited to just this. All the individual assignments, daily participation grades, and exams will be added together to get a point total for the grading period. This point total will then be divided into the student’s total points earned, which will produce a percentage that will be plugged into the grading scale in the student/parent handbook. The end result will be the student’s letter grade for the grading period. In most instances student daily work will be individually lower in total points than major projects, presentations, or exams. The frequency of daily work makes it add up quickly, so it is important to work on all aspects that will be graded: daily lesson participation, assignments, presentations, quizzes, and exams. *Extra Credit is not given! If you feel that your grade is not where you want it, you can first see if you have any missing work and make that up. Making up missing work is acceptable, but you may not receive full credit, depending on the length of time the work has been missing. If you do not have missing work and want to improve your grade you maybe able to redo an assignment that you received a lower grade on; this needs to be approved by the teacher prior to redoing. Exams, quizzes, and major projects/presentations will not be redone, unless a very special circumstance arises. Daily Class Participation Grade Breakdown: Students are graded on a 3 point daily scale. Students need to meet the following criteria to earn and keep 3 points on a daily basis. -Be on time and prepared: Students have 4 minutes passing time between classes to get their stuff and be in their next class. They need to be in their assigned desk, with book, notebook, writing utensil, and assignment if one when the bell rings. (No cell phones or Excessive want/use of passes out of class) -Participate in the lesson presented: Students need to be on task to progress through the instructional objectives for the lesson being taught. -Follow directions: Students need to follow the classroom rules and the daily lesson rules, for the safety of all and for the environment to be stable and educational. *All of the above must be performed to receive 3 points for your daily grade. Not performing one of the above will result in the loss of daily points. The amount will be determined by the severity of the situation and circumstance.
