Grading and Expectations

Welcome to sixth grade English! We are very excited to have you in class this year. Writers' notebooks, fun grammar lessons and differentiated vocabulary words are just a few things you will be doing this year.

Organization is the key to being a successful student in class. You are expected to come to class prepared each day with a pencil, Chromebook, and a book that you are reading for reading class.

Your English grade each quarter will consist of writing projects (these are primarily completed in class), weekly vocabulary quizzes, occasional grammar quizzes, and homework. Below is a breakdown of how grades will be calculated:

Writing Projects 60% of total grade

Vocabulary and Grammar 30% of total grade

Homework 10% of total grade

Remember to have a positive attitude and ask questions if you are unsure of something. We are looking forward to an awesome year!
