Students will run the mile weekly to earn points towards their Mile Major Grade. This is one of their major quarter grades worth 100 points. Students will run every week until they acquire the required 100 points. Upon reaching the 100 point mark, students will earn choice time during PE class. Below is the rubric for the Mile Major Grade:
17:00 and above= 0 points
16:59-15:00= 10 points
14:59-12:00= 15 points
11:59-10:00= 20 points
9:59-9:00= 25 points
8:59-7:00= 30 points
7:00 and below= 35 points.
Notes/tips for the mile:
If you walk at a brisk pace, your possible lap time will be around 4:30. If you keep this pace, your overall time will be around 18 minutes. This means you have to run part of the mile to break the 17 minute mark.
If you briskly walk the straights and jog the curves, or jog the straights and briskly walk the curves, your possible lap time will be around 3:30. If you keep this pace, your overall time will be around 14 minutes.
If you ever need points to improve your mile grade, send me an email asking to come in the morning. Mile make up time starts at 8:15 in the gym.
