As a reminder, a portfolio (and its accompanying checkbric) are due for each chapter. Since it is a learning process, Mister Roach allows students to turn in late work for a modest penalty in points (10%) during the first trimester. The late work cutoff is November 4, 2009.

All portfolios of assignments span at least one week, and most of them are 2 weeks of work or more. Not turning it in causes a ‘ZERO’ in the grade book, which is a very low grade! In case a reminder is needed, portfolios have been assigned to date for:

  • Reading: “Hatchet”
  • Reading: “Passage to Freedom”
  • Reading: “Climb or Die”
  • Math6: Chapter 1, Lessons 1-6 – Algebra & Functions
  • Math6: Chapter 1, Lessons 7-9 – Algebra Expressions, Equations, Properties
  • Math6: Chapter 2 – Integers
  • History: Chapter 1 – Tools of History
  • History: Chapter 2 -
  • Science: Chapter 6 – Plate Tectonics
  • Science: Chapter 7 – Earthquake

Any of these that were graded and returned incomplete for just a few points may be re-submitted. Any that are missing may be completed and turned in. The absolute cut-off for late work acceptance is November 4, 2009.
