Students are starting their first book report for the year.
Here is a link to show parents an example of what their projects
should look like: http://www.gottoteach.com/2015/04/matchbookchapter-summaries-for-novel.html
Please use the rubric that was handed out to students to help
guide students through their project. Again, the website is only to help
give an idea of how to do the project. The rubric states the guidelines
to be followed.
As a 4th grade study
skill enhancement, we
are allowing students
to correct poorly
completed
assignments. Grades
below a 75% can be
corrected and turned
back in for up to a
75% C for a grade.
However, students
who turn in
assignments without a
name will have 5-10
percentage points
each taken off the
final assignment
grade.
Late homework
assignments will be
accepted but will
receive a 10-point
decrease. Late work
will be accepted up
to one day late.
