Your grade in this class will be calculated based on a total points system. At the end of the marking period your teacher will add up all of the points you have earned throughout the marking period on various assignments and then divide by the total number of points possible.
The types of assignments that will be used to calculate your grade will include some homework assignments, announced and unannounced quizzes, tests, essays, and projects. Each assignment will be assigned a point value with tests and essays worth a greater number of points than quizzes and homework.
Example:
Assignment Category Points Earned Points Possible
Narrative Writing Essay 80 100
Vocab. Test Test 85 100
Short Story Quiz Quiz 45 50
______ ______
210 250
Calculation: 210/250 = 84%
The above example explains how your marking period grade will be calculated. This is helpful because you can record all of your grades throughout the marking period and be able to calculate your average at any given time. *The Genesis Parent Portal is a great way to keep track of your grades as well.
*NOTE: There is NO extra credit in 7th grade English! There are NO re-takes or “do-overs”. (This means you must put 100% effort into all of the assignments the first time.)
