Midterm/Interim Recommendations-
We are past the halfway point in the term. We have only just over
three weeks left.
Registration for Quarter 3 courses will begin Monday, January 5th.
You will be able to register via the South Hill website as usual. You will be
emailed a link on to follow in order to register.
I will show the class how to register on that day. I will
demonstrate how to register.
South Hill
4 quarters + summer course per year:
Quarter 1 September –
November (nine weeks)
Quarter 2 November – January
(nine weeks)
Quarter 3 February – April
(nine weeks)
Quarter 4 April – June
(nine weeks)
Summer July-Aug (five
weeks)
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 work so far.
Today and tomorrow, I will give you a midterm
recommendation for which English class you should register for next quarter. If
you are not going to take a class next quarter, you can use the midterm rec to
register for in the following when registration opens.
Today and tomorrow, we will have short one-on-one chats at
my desk. We will talk about how things are going so far in this course and what
your next course should/could be. By ‘so far’, I mean we have finished until
today. “So far’ means ‘up to now’.
I will put your recommendation into a spreadsheet for the
advisors. I make comments about ORAL and WRITTEN for each student. On the final
report, I will make a comment about NEXT STEPS. The comments are based on the
PLOs.
I use the vocabulary for your level:
EMERGING DEVELOPING PROFICIENT
EXTENDING
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
Unfortunately, I can’t email the comments to you. The school
software will not do that. If you want a copy of the comments, you can take a
picture of the comments on your phone. These comments will eventually be on
your final report card.
The interim/midterm recommendation will be based on the quizzes
and tests you have done so far this term. Also, you have a spoken mark out of 10
based on how much speaking you did in class for the first four weeks. Plus
there are points for rewrites.
REMINDER:
Tests are worth double what quizzes are worth.
Quiz X/6 = X/6
Test X/6 = X/12
Optional RW 1 pt each
Spoken1 X/10
**At SHEC, we want the strongest students to move up.
The South Hill English department strongly recommends that
students who are marginally passing (50-60%) not advance to the next level.
People sometimes move up to English classes that they are not
prepared for.
We want to encourage students who are doing well in classes to
register early for the next level. We want to dissuade students who are not
ready from registering in a class that may be too high for them. Everybody
wants to feel competent and challenged.
**The final few weeks of the course:
For the final three and a half 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. Also, there will be an essay.
IMPORTANT: 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 past the halfway point.
OPTIONS for registration- Stay at your current level or move up to
the next level.
EF1 – EF1 or EF2
EF2- EF2 or EF3
SP12- extra course I can recommend for an EF course.
