1. Projects (worth 40% of their final grade)
2. Daily/Weekly Grade (worth 40% of their final grade)
3. Tests (worth 20% of their final grade)
Projects are graded by the use of rubrics specific to each project.
Daily/Weekly Grades are based on the following:
Students get a Daily Grade Sheet for the week. Each day they grade themselves using a list similar to this one below. Then I grade them using the grade they gave themselves and what I observed during the class period.
- The student came prepared (they brought their pencil, agenda, and Student ID).
- The student came ready to work and had a plan for the day.
- The student focused/worked the majority of the class time.
- The student followed the class Social Contract.
- The student cleaned up the mess they made during class (they put away any books, pictures or tools they used, they washed the table, and they pushed in their chair).
- The student had their completed Daily Grade Sheet turned in on Friday (if they lose it and need a new one they will lose 5 points).
Extra Credit: Students may bring home their Daily Grade Sheet on Mondays and bring it back signed by a parent or guardian the following Tuesday and receive 5 extra credit points. Those points will be applied to their overall Daily/Weekly Grade. It must be the sheet from the week before and back on Tuesday to receive the extra credit (if a student is absent, it would be due back the day they are back in class).
Test Grades are based on the results of the two tests I give during the marking period. 1. The Color Language Test: This is a written test worth 40 points.
2. The Art History Test: This is an oral test worth 100 points.
