THESE
FIVE
THINGS…
SLIDESMANIA.COM
…are a part of everything we do in class.
READ
WRITE
THINK
SPEAK
DO
Writing is a skill you will use for the rest of your life! Practicing this skill will make this skill better. You will write a lot of things this year.
You are bombarded with messages and ideas from the moment you wake up! If you don’t think clearly about anything, you will fall for everything! Thinking is a skill.
Speaking is becoming a lost art. Speaking, along with Reading, Writing, and Thinking, helps you to articulate your thoughts for others to understand.
Reading is a skill you will use for the rest of your life! Practicing this skill will make this skill better. You will read a lot of things this year.
Lazy is easy but work leads to reward! Everything in the class is designed for you to grow and flourish as a human being. I can point the way, but you gotta walk!

HOMEWORK
What it won’t be…
What it will be…
SLIDESMANIA.COM
GRADES & GRADING
Traditional Assessments - 35%:
These are traditional tests and quizzes.
Project/Writing Assessments - 35%:
This includes projects, collaborative projects, long-form essays, presentations, etc.
Classwork/Homework - 20%:
This is anything small/minor that we start and finish in class or something that needs to be finished at home.
Participation - 10%:
Pop Up Debates, class discussions, table talks, SSR, etc.
While not everything will be graded in this class, the students will use the work that we do to practice the FIVE skills mentioned on slide #9.
Grades are points-based and weighted. There are 4 categories that you will be assessed on throughout the year.
I have included a sample of the
Project Assessment Rubric for you to see HERE.

LATE WORK POLICY
It’s super simple and super basic and super easy to remember.
Here it is…
You have until the end of a unit to turn in any and all missing/late work with the possibility of receiving up-to full credit.
AFTER the unit ends, ANY missing assignment will remain a zero forever!
Easy-peasy lemon squeezy :)

TECHNOLOGY
USE
SLIDESMANIA.COM
THE TECH
We will be heavily involved with technology throughout the year.
The expectation is that you maintain a proper level of maturity while you are engaged in this class.
We will use the technology given to you to its fullest academic potential.
H*ll, we’ll even use our *gasp* cell phones too.
But with great power comes great responsibility!
If you show that you are unable to use the given technology properly, maturely, and appropriately, you and I will have a conversation…
Again, my expectation of you is that you’ll be mature and responsible.
