Weekly Notes
Welcome back! I hope everyone had a great break with their families. We are getting right back in the swing of things working on idioms, cliches, quotation marks, and continuing to work on the Polar Project - now taking a view from the present.
To increase accountability with students' reading at home, I am using the SRI quizzes students take after they finish reading a book and assigning a grade based on how many they pass.
The criteria is as follows:
Books read must be close to your reading level or be approved by Mr. Young or Ms. Whip. If you read a book and there is not an SRI Feedback Quiz, please let Mr. Young know so he can create a quiz for you to receive credit. For a book to count, you must pass a quiz.
100% - 8 or more books
95% - 7 books
90% - 6 books
85% - 5 books
80% - 4 books
75% - 3 books
70% - 2 books
65% - 1 book
0% - 0 books
