One-on-one meetings for midterm recommendations
Registration for Quarter 4 (April-June)
begins Wednesday, March 12
*I do not know what I will be teaching next
quarter. If will let you know when I talk with Hollie.
Midterm Recommendations-
We are at the halfway point in the term. We have only four and a
half weeks left.
Registration for April-June courses (Quarter 4) will begin next Wednesday.
You will be able to register via the South Hill website as usual. You will be
emailed a link to follow in order to register.
I will show the class how to register on Wednesday. I will
demonstrate how to register.
In order to register, you need a recommendation from your teacher.
The midterm recommendation is a snapshot or picture of how you are
doing at this moment, based on your average so far.
Next Monday, I will give you a midterm recommendation for which English
class you should register for in Q4. If you are not going to take a class in Q4,
you can use the midterm rec to register for Summer or next September when registration
opens for those terms.
Next Monday, we will have a short chat at my desk. We will talk
about how things are going so far in this course and what your next course
should/could be. I will put your recommendation into a spreadsheet for the
advisors. By ‘so far’, I mean we have finished five of nine weeks. “So far’
means ‘up to now’.
I can’t email the comments to you. The software will do that. If
you want a copy of my comments, you can take a picture of the comments on your
phone.
The interim/midterm recommendation will be based on the quizzes
and tests you have done so far this term. Also, I will give you a spoken mark
out of 10 based on how much speaking you do in class. Plus there are points for
rewrites.
REMINDER:
Tests are worth double what quizzes are worth.
Test X/6 = X/12
Quiz X/6 = X/6
RW Bonus 1 pt each
Spoken1 X/10
The minimum average for early registration is 65%. If your average
is over 65%, you can register for the next level on the first day of reg, which
is Wednesday.
If you are between 50-64%, you will have to wait until Friday to
register.
**At SHEC, we want the strongest students moving up first.
REMEMBER: The final pass mark at the end of course is 50%.
REMINDER: Teachers in BC use this vocabulary for assessment.
New BC Ministry of Education marking categories:
Emerging – first steps, beginning, not ready to move up
Developing- partial understanding, getting better
Proficient- have skills and abilities
Extending- sophisticated understanding and ability
For the final four weeks, we will keep doing tests and quizzes
until the end of the course. Plus, there will be a second spoken mark for the
final few weeks worth X/15. Plus, we will do a presentation worth 10 points.
You will have lots of opportunity to bring your marks up in the
last weeks of class. You will also have lots of opportunity to bring your marks
down if you stop working.
This is just the halfway point.
OPTIONS for registration- Stay at your current level or move up to
the next level
EF3- EF3 or EF4
EF4- EF4 or EF5
