Spelling Unit 1, completed and checked in homework and quiz

Handed out late slips for first quarter. Don't lose 'em!

Directions how to grade spelling:

On the homework- count up the number correct and divide that number in half.

On the quiz, count up the number correct and divide that number in half.

Then, on the quiz, write the total score, homework and quiz, which will total whatever they got on both out of 20 points. That means, if they got all perfect, their total score is 20/20. Write that. Write TOTAL SCORE and put your CB on the paper. Only hand in the quiz.

PEER- Evaluate benchmarks essays.

This means you will share with one person, giving them VIEWING access only. I will explain….

Open up Google drive and your Benchmark ESSAY. Share your essay with the person who is going to read it. (I will tell you who.)  Do not give them edit function, just view. (Select the down arrow when sharing.)

You, the evaluator, should now have access to that essay. You use the printed rubric to look over and evaluate their work. Be sure to include kind and constructive comments. Look at the prompt. When done, you can show them the rubric. Staple rubric to the outline and put in class basket.
