Roberts Honors American Literature: July 2008

Why are there ads on this educational blog?

I won't be teaching American Lit this year, but this blog still gets thousands of visitors, teachers and students, from all over the world looking for resources to support their learning. By turning on Google Ad Sense the blog also earns me a little money, (sometimes as much as $6 a month, so I'm not getting rich here.) I spend a lot of my own money to support the learning in my classroom, so a little extra to support that is always nice. If you found something here that helped you please click on an ad and send a few cents my way. Thanks, Jen @JenRoberts1

Grade Book Explained

I have opened my gradebook on Zangle for you to view. There are some things you need to know.

If you have a blank score or missing score that is not bad. Often scores are left blank when I do not grade an assignment. Sometimes blanks mean a student was absent for an in class experience. The point is do not panic about blank or missing scores.

Zeros however, are a real problem. Students get zeros when they do not turn in an assignment that they should have done. Zeros usually appear after I have asked the student several times to get the work finished. Students can sometimes undo a zero by turning in the work late.

I hope this will resolve some confusion. Of course if you have questions about grades please e-mail me.
