Class Contribution
I need a signed note from an adult to explain my ________ or ________.
Absences or Tardies need a signed note because Attendance is hugely important. Absences especially need to be explained because you are missing out on important learning and the work will still be here for you when you come back!
Where should my phone be unless asked by a Teacher to take it out?
Backpack
Define Plagiarism in your own words.
Copying someone else's work and not giving proper credit
True or False: Sharing out loud is the only way to get credit for class contribution/participation.
False! You can participate by being a door monitor, volunteering to read out loud, by being open to receiving feedback/suggestions, and more!
To receive an "E" in this category I need to have a good attitude, being open to try, and being determined to learn!
Effort! Show me you are eager and open to learning!
True or False: It is not considered plagiarism if I change a few words.
It would still be plagiarizing a quote even if you change 2-3 words because most of the text would still be someone else's writing. Plus, you also have to give credit to the source!
Describe one interaction with a table mate that would be an example of productive contribution to class [productive example of participation]
Name two ways I can physically/non-verbally (without talking) show Mx. Vázquez I am eager to listen and learn in class.
Maintaining eye contact, facing the teacher, Nodding my head WHILE MAKING EYE CONTACT to show understanding, having all of my materials ready on my desk (NB open, pencil in hand / starting Warm-Up immediately when entering class).
Student A will have to stay ____ minutes after 4th Period (Lunch) because they were gone for 15 minutes at the restroom.
2 minutes of Lunch... because they owe 1 minute for being more than 10 minutes at the restroom, and 1 more minute for being 5 minutes after the ten minute mark.
Infer why participation is a large part of your grade and how it might relate to Mx. Vázquez's edTPA.
My edTPA Test is about how I can facilitate student discussion -- if you are not contributing to the class, I will be missing out on your valuable participation in class discussion <3
After how many tardies in a grading period will you receive a "U"?
4 tardies in 1 Grading Period = a "U"
Infer why Mx. Vázquez is very serious about you doing homework by the due date is important for class the next day!
Homework is just work that was supposed to be completed in class that day + if your homework is not done, you will not be ready for class content the next day.
