You will have several homework assignments throughout the school year in my class. It is important to complete them and turn them in on time. Homework will typically account for a minimum of 10% of your overall grade in my class. Here are some very important things to remember: • Homework can be found by accessing your class pages. From these class pages, you will click on either “6th Grade Homework”. If you can’t find an assignment on this page, please contact Mr. Sickler. Any assignment turned in after the due date will be HALF CREDIT, no exceptions. All homework assignments will be graded according to the 4 point which is located in Tab #1 of your Sportfolio. Use this rubric to check your homework before you turn it in. • If you turn your assignment in on time and receive a NO CREDIT, you will have 2 DAYS to correct the work for full credit. After that, you will receive NO CREDIT. Reasons for receiving a NO CREDIT are incomplete answers, missing answers, not following directions, sloppy or difficult to read, etc. • If parents COMMENT and SIGN the homework assignment, you will receive 2 EXTRA CREDIT points. • Work can NEVER, EVER be cut and pasted from the article or copied from another students. If this happens, you will receive a 0 for assignment with no chance to make up it up along with a referral to the office for cheating. Please don’t copy or plagiarize work. • ALL homework must be SAVED in your SportFolio after it is handed back. If I mis-grade you and you find it in your SportFolio, you will receive full credit. If you throw the assignment away, you will not receive credit. PLEASE GO OVER ALL OF THESE THINGS WITH YOUR PARENTS/GUARDIANS SO THEY ARE CLEAR ON HOW MY HOMEWORK POLICIES WORK IN CLASS.
