Their comment cannot be a smiley, face, good job, or a check, but an actual comment. You don't get points unless they put a comment and their name. If absent, copy chart and definition from a classmate. Come up with your own sentence using circuitous, but do not copy another students sentence. Have someone review your sentence and add their comment and name.
Both classes-M&M results discussed. Missed quizzes cannot be made up as the are only extra credit in this class. Students receive extra points for anything over 80%. Still waiting on scores from 5th block teachers. Most students received around 50%. Only 2 students in all of my English classes received above 80%. There were 8 questions everyone should have done well on because of the prefixes learned in this class. Some students aren't listening well enough to the M&M review in this class or any class. I will be monitoring their quiz results and expect to see them improve.
Portfolio organization continued. Each section must have a table of contents. Ms. Batten helps students set up Handouts TOC and M&M TOC. Students are responsible for maintaining their portfolio and the table of contents for each section.
