Ms. Walsh's Expectations

In Social Studies Class:

• Your class zoom code can be found on the front page of your Google Classroom for Social Studies.

• Be on time to Zoom class. Attendance is taken and you will be marked tardy if not on time.

• Answer the “Question of the Day” (participation point)

• Show me you are here by being on camera (participation point)

• Answer questions by raising your hand or writing in CHAT (participation)

• When the group is asked to write an answer in CHAT, you need to respond for participation point.

• If you are non-responsive or missing, you will be put into the waiting room and counted absent

• If you get put in the waiting room, you may Google CHAT me and I will let you back in.

• If you get put in the waiting room, a note will be sent to guidance, to your parent and journaled in your X2.

• Please focus on class when you are in Zoom. Playing games, texting, tic-tok, YouTube = No.

• Monday/Tuesday = Teacher Lesson & HW, Wednesday/Thursday = Practice & HW, Friday=Practice

• All your learning resources are on Google Classroom: Learning, Homework and Quiz

Your Grades:

• Grades are on X2 Gradebook and not Google Classroom.

• Check X2 Gradebook often. Minimum on Fridays.

• Any grade in X2 lower than 70% must be re-done.

• To re-do a quiz, you must go to the Google Classroom, "CHECK X2 and CATCH UP" and complete the make-up practice activity. Once you get above a 70% on the practice, contact me on GOOGLE CHAT to let me know so that I can adjust your grade or give you a link for the quiz re-take.

Homework:

• Homework is generally for studying and PRACTICE time.

• I can see who does homework and who does not do homework.

• Homework is practice. If you practice and get a high score, I will sometimes allow you to skip homework.
