• On the Weekly Playlists page, find the list of this week's agenda and homework

• Be sure you are correcting your work as we review it each day in class

• I'm not sure how Office Hours will work this year, but stay tuned!

20% - Participation

20% - Projects

40% - Classwork and Notebook (DIN)

20% - Assessments

• Participation grades reflect your participation during class

• Be a supportive group member

• complete Do Nows and Exit Tickets

• DIN stands for Digital Interactive Notebook - just like you might have had a paper notebook at school where you tape/glue in all of your assignments, this one is digital!

• You can get to your DIN through Google Classroom

• You will be working on pages in your DIN almost every day

• We will review pages you complete in your DIN during class. You are responsible for correcting your work as we review it. Work that is not corrected/completed will be marked down. You must bring your Chromebook to class every day

• You will only turn in your DIN once for each unit, at the end of the Unit

• The DIN is worth a LOT of points, so make sure you have completed everything before turning it in

Students can always turn in late work! You will lose points for each day that your work is late, so make the effort to turn it in as soon as possible. Be sure to send an email notifying me what assignment you have submitted.

• Extra credit is available to all students.

• It is available at different times throughout the year, and may range from an extra writing assignment, to watching a video, to reporting on a current event.

• I do NOT give extra credit to students who ask me what they can do to raise their grade at the end of the quarter.

• WORK HARD, AND ALWAYS TAKE ADVANTAGE OF EXTRA CREDIT WHENEVER IT IS GIVEN TO YOU!
