Midterm Recommendations

 

Registration for Quarter 2 courses (November-January) begins today, Tuesday, October 11th. You can register through the South Hill website.

 

https://moodle.vsb.bc.ca/moodle3/local/intake/Nov2022/start.php

 

You should have received an email this morning from the school.

In order to register, you need a recommendation from me. Today, we will talk about it; then I will put your recommendation into a spreadsheet for the advisors.

Today, I will give you an interim recommendation for which English class you should register for in Quarter 2. This interim recommendation will be based on the quizzes and tests you have done so far this term. Also, I have given you a spoken mark out of 10 based on how much speaking you do in class. Plus there are a few points for submitting HW.

 

REMINDER:

Quizzes are worth about 25-30% of your mark.

Tests are worth approximately 50-60% of your mark.

Spoken is worth approximately 10-15% of your mark.

 

If you are passing this class well:

English Foundations 1 STAY IN EF1 OR MOVE UP TO EF2

English Foundations 2 STAY IN EF2 OR MOVE UP TO EF3

Speaking and Listening 1/2 – EXTRA CLASS, You should be in EF1 or EF2 with another instructor.

 

EF- English Foundations

 

The South Hill English department strongly recommends that students who are marginally passing (50-60%) not advance to the next level. Therefore, the minimum average required to receive a recommendation to register early for the next level is 60%. This is to prevent students who are not ready from registering in a class that may be too high for them.

We want the strongest students to have an opportunity to register first.

 

NOTE: 60% is the reasonable cutoff point for early registration starting tomorrow.

However, the final passmark for courses in BC is 50%. That is your final mark on the last day.

You can move up to the next level with 50%, but I don’t think that is strong enough. You have to get better at your English.

 

IMPORTANT:      The minimum average for a recommendation to register early for the next level starting tomorrow is 60%.

The final passmark is 50%.

 

We have four weeks left in our course. You can change your mark significantly depending on the quizzes and tests yet to come. We have many quizzes and tests yet to come this term. Plus the in-class spoken mark.

 

In November I will teach the following courses:

Period 1     (9:15-11:30)        English 11

Period 2     (12-2:15)              English Foundations 4/5

This is my schedule.

 

 

EF 1,2,3,4,5,6,7    ---  English 11, English 12

There is no EF 8,9,10
