20 Week Observations
Many students are completing their homework and improving their writing skills.
Several students are taking advantage of extra credit and have averages over 100%
Areas that needs improvement:
homework- it is now worth 45 points per assignment- several students are not attempting and copy from my power point. Or copying from another student.
lack of quiz/exam preparation. Few students are reviewing their notes and re-reading the section/chapterSlide2
Class Time-
Too many students not ready or listening to directions. Have to remind you what task we are on and to update your homework, take notes on an important topic.
Not ready at the beginning of class- does not have notebook, pencil/pen, homework, etc.
Disrupting class- talking during instruction, sharpening pencil, picking the end of the pencil, and then re-sharpen.
