Welcome to semester 2!
Today the agenda is the same for HLA 4, LA 4, and ELL 4B.
1. Teacher introduction
2. Announcements for semester 2
3. Classroom orientation
4. Personal reading history
Attention students:
Grades are now complete and have been posted. As the syllabus states, I rounded grades .5 or higher if the letter grade would change.
For example:
Scenario 1: Bob the student has a 92.6%. I would round his grade to a 93% because he would go from an A- to an A.
Scenario 2: Bob the student has a 76.8%. I would not round his grade because the next point up is still a C.
*If you have a serious concern, please email me about it.
**If you think you deserve a different grade, please don’t email me about it.
