2nd 6 weeks
It's October and the start of a new six weeks. Plan ahead with your grades this six weeks by staying on top of your assignments and keeping up with your business. We will have three major grades this six weeks: A Lesson Before Dying selected response exam, A Lesson Before Dying Great Works card, and the average score of your turnitin.com ALDB Discussion questions. If you would like extra credit, then you may write a Scholastic writing entry to be due by October 15th. For more details on this, please see me before or after school. This Scholastic extra credit will NOT replace a missing test grade. I will NOT be dropping any test grades this six weeks. The Scholastic extra credit will count as an EXTRA test grade (if you do the extra credit, then you will have four grades rather than three).

What does the essay for the Scholastic thing have to be about?
ReplyDeleteIt can be about anything - a short story, for example.
ReplyDeleteSo we can just write a essay about anything and turn it in by Friday to get an extra test grade?
