GRADING:
Participation = 30%
Assignments (two parts of grade)
Vocab/Multiple Choice tests = 15%
AP Portfolio essay grades = 15%
Exams = 10% Grammar, key terminology, and vocabulary items that we have discussed in class are on the AP Vocabulary Archive. The sooner you get started, the sooner (comparative degree) you will know all your terms.
An explanation of the assignment grades at right. The grade you see is an average of the CONTENT grades you have received over an average of the EFFORT grades you have received. We will have this on hand in class as a graph, which I expect to see rise over the course of the year. There will, of course, be dips, too...During the first semester, the effort grade will be weighted more; during the Spring semester, I will look at the content average as the more signifiicant part of your grade.

...in the hand is worth two...
by Kirsten Wiking
this written question
ahead of time
so I could plan for it"
But really. What mistakes?
I've been a good! parent (haven't I?)
Yes, yes, little slip ups, but gah!
What does it matter?
(Hmm, well, yes, that time I marched
into your room because I knew
there were substances of suspect, mass[ively] destructive,
under your mattress, guess that wasn't...) But.
Just think!
Through all your adolescence
how high your allowance has been --
(although, my income has been, er,
not great. It may fall to you to pay off my um,
fiscal mismanagement
*cringe*
once I pass...
But don't think of it!
Think of how much money
money
money you've had now!)
Really, (to tell the truth) the saddest thing
about my years as the
parent
has been that I couldn't...
go for longer runs...oh yes. But
"I'm the decider-see!
I don't need to explain why I do things.
That's the interesting thing
about being
a
parent."
(purely subjective, based on my perceptions of your initiative, interest, self-motivation, & tenacity)
