I find them more useful with my bigger classes than with my small classes.

We have been working on different participation structures in our class and are thinking of something like popsicle sticks. At the same time we don't want students to feel anxious/unsafe about being put on the spot. Any ideas on how you've gotten beyond that in your own classroom?Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11799756939580543266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1091979517567705761.post-89227527937390895542014-06-27T11:30:36.452-05:002014-06-27T11:30:36.452-05:00My first year, I made the notebook 25% of their gr...My first year, I made the notebook 25% of their grade. This year, I just did a total points grading scheme. Notebooks were worth the same as a test grade (100 points). I try to grade notebooks at the end of each unit, but I kinda like your weekly grading idea. It would encourage students to keep their notebooks up to date ALL the time instead of putting it off until the very end of the chapter!

Just wondering what percentage of the total grade you suggest assigning the IAN (You said earlier, I think, that it was hard to pass your class without keeping up with the IAN). Something like 20%?? I was thinking of keeping a log of weekly notebook grades and walking by on Fridays and giving 0/100 for the week, hoping to avoid a pile up of problems at the end of the grading period and to give the student a push to keep up. I would appreciate your insight. Thanks.<br />JoanieAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13918175662688215416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1091979517567705761.post-66982867929511643602014-06-20T07:46:43.960-05:002014-06-20T07:46:43.960-05:00You're welcome!

I've been perusing (okay... reading every single post of) your blog for the past week or two and I just wanted to stop in and say THANK YOU for all of these amazing resources and ideas you share! I am a fairly new teacher - I taught for two years, took the past two years off while my boyfriend and I moved around from state to state, and now am going back to teach Algebra 1 and Algebra 2 next year. I am so excited, but slightly overwhelmed! I am using this summer to prepare as much as possible, and your blog has been so helpful, especially those last couple posts regarding common core standards.<br /><br />Thank you again - I look forward to all of your posts!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02254310640423875091noreply@blogger.com
