8th Grade ELA
Student grades will be made up from the following areas:
1. Bell Work: Weekly classwork grade
2. Classwork: 1-3 Assignments from classwork that will be graded based on skill mastery.
3. Cold-Reads: Cold reads will be provided biweekly. These will mimic end-of-year assessments and provide me with information that I will use to fuel instruction.
4. Quizzes: These will be quick checks or exit tickets (anywhere from one to five question skill checks) that will monitor skill progression.
5. Tests: Test grades can come in the form of reading projects. Case testing, informational projects or written essays. Students will have plenty of fore-warning before any of these assessments are collected, reviewed and graded.
