We reviewed Standards-Based Grading and a transcript for students to recall how it all works with regard to quarter grades being simply a mid-term report for the semester. We discussed the excerpts from Loewen via SMARTboard. In 1st hour we also began work on the outline for the new unit -- read through the handout carefully, marking items of curiosity on the right (preferably with pencil), and adding dates on the few lines marked on the left -- to be continued in class tomorrow.
