Progress Reports

What do you think your grades should be?


8R12 students self-assessed themselves today to decide what grades they think they deserve. They decided on a grade ranging from NOT ACCEPTABLE, through to ACCEPTABLE, then GOOD, then EXCELLENT.

They had to write a paragraph justifying their choices by explaining why they deserve the grade and using evidence and examples where possible. 

Here are some examples (anonymous):

Classwork - Good, because I always strive for excellence and try my hardest in everything. Most of the time I have neat handwriting and present my work as neatly as I can.

Attitude - Excellent, because I am always at class on time and willing to give 100% on whatever I am learning and prepared to learn new things. I am always willing to help others and help with classroom activities.

Equipment - Good, because I have been reminded once about my equipment. I also normally have all my books (organiser, school books) and my pencil case. 

Homework - Excellent, because there has not been one time that I have missed homework except when I was sick but I caught up.

If you have not yet handed in your paragraphs to Mr H., please do so by Monday morning before camp. You could write them in Google Drive and share them with Mr H.
