Items Graded in Class:
Daily work:
Weekly Art History quizzes will be done in class on Fridays.
Students will have a self check the second and fourth week of each six weeks . If they do not submit it by the following Wednesday, they will not receive credit for it as the grade is based on a student checking their grades and ensuring their work is complete. The self check is created so students can take a moment to assess themselves and have an opportunity to increase their grade before progress reports and report cards.
If a students is caught cheating on an art history quiz, they will receive a zero for the assignment on skyward. If a student is caught with their phone out during an art history quiz, they will receive a zero for the assignment on skyward.
Notebook checks:
Notebook checks consist of checking student practice skill sheets and drafts that they are allotted class time to complete.
Art projects:
Art project grades are based on the rubric below. If a student has a google classroom assignment that is considered part of their project grade, they will be notified and it will be on the google classroom assignment with the amount of points that it is worth as well. Those points would count toward a portion of the assignment objective section of the rubric. An easier to comprehend graphic is also below.
Absent Work:
Students are responsible for getting their missing work and are expected to make up their missing work in a timely manner. Students who are absent should visit with the teacher during independent work time, not between classes/the start of class, to see what they have missed. Students may need to spend time outside of class to make up missing work. If a student has excessive absences, they may receive an alternative assignment or will be graded based on their effort while in class for major projects.
Google Classroom Norms:
Weekly assignments will be given Friday due dates on Google Classroom, but students may be expected to turn shorter assignments in earlier in the week. Students should not turn in Google classroom assignments blank unless given special permission.
Late Work:
Late work is defined as assignments that are turned in past the due date without the student being absent from class. Students can receive full credit for late work, but late work must be turned in a week before grades are due unless the student was absent during work time for the assignment. Additionally, students must send an email to grace.weaver@burkburnettisd.org with a description of what assignments they turned in and their class period.
Homework:
In general, students are given plenty of class time to complete their work. If a student frequently has homework, they may not be spending their class time wisely.
