I added the quiz scores from today.
The 200 word good draft is due Thursday. I should have them graded in a week. At that point, the grades should be accurate. (Right now there is a whole category not represented: Classwork.)
40% of the grade is Classwork (Essays and projects)
20 % of the grade is the 700 words/week (for this marking period at least)
10 % of the grade is homework
20% of the grade is vocab quizzes
10% of the grade is participation (being prepared, behaving, but mostly volunteering)
Since a computer figures all this out, it can be messy. I like to be able to give parents a good view of where their child might be struggling. There is a good part of my grade that is just doing work. However, performance matters, too. Quizzes, projects, and essays will show performance. I did not blog yesterday because my son broke his arm. Ugh.
