Period 5-6 
8th Grade Resource ELA 
(Google Meeting IS REQUIRED today.  Feel free to text or call your friend if s/he should be in class with us right now!) 

Class changes for 4th marking period: 
You will have a new participation grade (100-point test grade) 
for 4th marking period to ensure you are participating during 
remote learning.

This is how it works: 
Every day in class you have a chance to earn up to 4 points.  
     -1 point for being logged into our Tuesday and Thursday Google Meetings 
            (8:30am-whenever Mrs. King says you can leave).

     -1 point for logging in ON TIME (8:30 or before). 

     -1 point for asking a question about what we are doing in class.

     -1 point for making a statement, adding to our class discussion 
             about what we are doing in class in a positive way.  

*I will be keeping track of every person's participation on a spread sheet. 

Try to earn 3 points every Tuesday and Thursday during your required 
Google Meetings.  Be on time (8:30am Tues. & Thurs.)  Friday is optional.

Fridays are NOT required, but can only help add points to your grade.
