End of Trimester One Reflection and Grade

As we are in our last days of Trimester One, it is important to understand what we accomplished in regards to what was expected of us. We spent the past trimester learning the basics of writing and producing broadcasts, and your final assessment of these learned skills is a news story (as part of your group news show).

Below is the rubric for the news story, which is the tool we will use to give you a final trimester grade. The skills are all aligned with New York State English Language Arts standards. If you exceed, meet or fall below these standards, your grade will reflect that.

However, through various assignments during the trimester you have also been assessed on smaller levels. The reflection listed below allows you to prove to me and others what you have done and at which level. This handout will be given out in class on Monday, November 19th and should be returned to Ms. G. no later than Wednesday, November 21st.

If you fail to turn in your reflection by Wednesday, you have failed to prove your grade to me and others. Students without reflections are considered to be students without grades, and your report card will show that.
