Grading Policy
Our major and minor grade breakdown is 60% major grades and 40% minor grades.
The district requires that we identify each graded assessment (major or minor) as one of the following types:
Interpersonal Activities
(speaking)
Students exchange information, concepts, and ideas with a variety of speakers or readers on a variety of topics in a culturally appropriate context.
Interpretive Activities
(includes listening and reading)
Students interpret information, concepts, and ideas from a variety of culturally authentic sources on a variety of topics.
Presentational Activities
(includes speaking and writing)*
Students present information, concepts, and ideas to an audience of listeners or readers on a variety of topics in a culturally appropriate context.
*These speaking and writing activities differ from the interpersonal and interpretive assignments because students are provided time to prepare (and edit) drafts before they are assessed
