Portfolio:
- I will not give tests in this class. For most units you will create an end-of-unit portfolio page that summarizes your understanding from that unit. You'll create your portfolio as a Google site, and add a page to your portfolio for each unit.
- In lieu of a midterm or final, you will work on portfolio.
Homework grading:
Common, daily assignments are worth 10 points maximum using the following rubric.
- 10=did my best work and strongly met or exceeded expectations; responses were detailed and thorough
- 8-9=completed requirement and demonstrated understanding
- 6-7=I did less than was required
- 0=did not submit properly
Assessment day policy:
Students must give 48 hours notice if they have two or more tests or essays scheduled on the day a major history assessment is due if they wish to take it on another day. Students must complete the major history assessment within 48 hours of the due date.
