2. This Quarter… • You will be seated with specific groups and will work with them on the assignments • Each group will have a group leader that is responsible for grading their groups bellworks and helping me with participation points. In addition, they are responsible for keeping the group on task at all times. • Group leaders will change randomly so everyone has a chance. • You will have a notebook test at some point this quarter. Make sure you are keeping notes and assignments in there. • Your exit slips will be word wall word assignments. From now on, you are to keep them on the same page in your notebook and I will collect them after every 5 (like bellwork, but I am actually taking them up) • Bellwork will be checked after every 5 by group leaders, but the grades will not go in until after every 10.

3. Participation Points • Since there has been an excessive amount of phone use, headphones and sleeping, this quarter we will be doing participation points. • Everyday, you will be judged based off of how well you are participating, responding, following along, etc. • Group leaders may be asked how/what each member did that day if the teacher is too busy helping people to notice • A rubric will be posted on the info board, but here is the general idea: • 5 points possible a day= 2 100 point grades • 5=A, 4=B, 3=C, 2=D, 1=F

4. How to get an “A” • All participation points are based on Reading along, discussion and participation, and writing and assignments. • To get an A in reading section: must have book opened to the right page, be following along the whole time and read when called on or volunteer. • A in the Discussion section: Volunteers to answer questions (or responds when called on), answers are detailed and thought provoking • A in Assignments section: Responds and works hard during assignments, does not get distracted by others , assignments are done to full or extra completion
