8th Grade PACE Language Arts



8th Grade PACE Language Arts

Mrs. Johnson

Concept Theme: Power

Course Objectives: Objectives are based on the Alabama state course of study, EQT objectives (see attachment), and GEP goals.

Resources:

Textbooks/workbooks Language Network

Literature: Reader’s Choice

Grammar, Usage, and Mechanics Network

Vocabulary Workshop: Level C

* Vocabulary Workshop books will be purchased with part of the PACE fee.*

Homework: Homework is given frequently and is expected to be completed in a timely manner. Students are expected to write daily agendas and homework assignments in their planner daily. Late penalties will be given for unexcused late assignments. If an assignment is more than ONE WEEK late, the grade becomes a zero. If there is a problem where completing homework is difficult, I expect a letter from the parent/guardian to be excused and to prevent late penalties.

Incomplete/Make-up work: Students are responsible for their own incomplete/make-up work. If a student is absent or has an incomplete assignment, it is his/her responsibility to find out the assignment and make it up as soon as possible. Incomplete/make-up work needs to be completed within ONE WEEK of the assignment or absence. If assignments are not made up, the grade results in a zero.

Progress Reports: Please check INow for your child’s grades.

Grading System:

Major Grades (exams, tests, and major projects) = 60%

Daily Grades (observations, journals, projects, quizzes, etc.)= 30%

Homework= 10%

The final average is the average of the averages in each category multiplied by the category weights. Each activity in a single category counts the same.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call, email, or send me a letter.

Please check out school insites or INOW home on a regular basis. I will be posting activities and projects on the calendar.
