Points will be added together and divided by the total points possible to determine grades.<br /><br />Grades will consist of four main components:<br /><br />1. <strong>Binder</strong>-contains assignments, notes and maps, graded on a regular basis and is worth approximately 150 points per six weeks. If a binder is lost student will be allowed to make up as many assignments as possible before deadline. Work must be completed to earn the points.<br /><br />2. <strong>Essays/Projects</strong>-One essay/project per six weeks involving research worth approximately 150 points per six weeks.<br /><br />3. <strong>Quizzes</strong>-one quiz per week evaluating learning and class involvement worth approximately 120 points per six weeks.<br /><br />4. <strong>Tests</strong>-one test per unit evaluating comprehension, analysis, and synthesis of material worth approximately 250 points per six weeks.<br /><br />Failure to present an assignment will result in a grade of <strong>zero</strong>, and will severely affect the student's final grade.<br /><br />There will be extra credit opportunities throughout the term that I <strong>strongly</strong> encourage all students to take advantage of to maximize their opportunities for success.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1936741466104596560-6746111856791519223?l=bellairegeography.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mr. Leaganshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17794965722341367921noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1936741466104596560.post-70556322942968105862008-08-23T14:19:00.000-07:002008-08-23T14:25:17.822-07:00Five <strong>Essential</strong> Rules of Class:<br /><br />1. <strong>Respect</strong> each other with common courtesy.<br /><br />2. Be prepared for class with all <strong>supplies </strong>and <strong>in your seat</strong> by the tardy bell.<br /><br />3. Participate <strong>actively</strong> and listen <strong>attentively</strong>.<br /><br />4. Complete and submit homework <strong>on time</strong>.<br /><br />5. <strong>Raise your hand</strong> and <strong>wait</strong> for teacher acknowledgement <strong>before</strong> speaking.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1936741466104596560-7055632294296810586?l=bellairegeography.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mr. Leaganshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17794965722341367921noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1936741466104596560.post-63880975302074438062008-08-23T14:16:00.000-07:002008-08-23T14:19:40.734-07:00Required Supplies (to be brought to class EVERY day)<br /><br />-One and a half (1 1/2) inch binder<br />-10 Dividers<br />-A box of Color Pencils<br />-Black pens<br />-Highlighter<br />-Loose leaf paper<br />-World Geography Textbook<br /><br />Each of these items is essential every day.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1936741466104596560-6388097530207443806?l=bellairegeography.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mr. Leaganshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17794965722341367921noreply@blogger.com0
