Winds of Change

I am still working on my new grading system for next semester - something that will make sense to everyone. Look forward to some things from the past semester going by the wayside, while others return from the graveyard. You'll find very little truly new or foreign.
- The daily quote will return.
- The notebooks/journals will be vital.
- Self-assessment will become a part of the routine.
- There will be a quiz or test every week.
- We'll be moving from a 25-point per assignment standard down to a 20-point standard.
- I am going to try and utilize more A-B-C-D-F indicators.
- Extra Credit opportunities will be available on a weekly basis.

Econ: I met with each student individually about your current academic standing. In groups, you were to work on JA Ch. 5 Questions 1, 5, & 7. Wednesday will be spent on discussing your findings and discussing the Kohn article. Then Thursday will be the Econ final.

WS: Not much of a class today due to the Writing Test. Wednesday will be about sorting your journals/notebooks and finalizing the Religion Chart.

AP WS: You were supposed to organize your journal/notebook in class. On Wednesday, I will meet with each of you individually about your current academic standing. Meanwhile, the class will have time to work on EC - the Ch. 8 Reviewing the Facts.

I'm off to watch the State of the Union Address...
