Paper Grading

October 5, 2007

Note: This post was made after the journal entry.

I graded and graded and graded! I didn't really get to observe anything because I spent the whole time grading papers. Thankfully, I didn't miss too much. The majority of the class time was spent re-doing the tests from the day before that they did poorly on. The Geometry class actually got to re-do all the ones they missed for full credit! Then, if they still missed some, they got to correct those for half-credit...and this was a multiple choice test! Too many freebies for an Honors class if you ask me.

In Algebra 1, Ms. Screws had forgotten to prepare the lesson. She thought they were just going to go over the test. So she had to do Verbal Sentence to Equations on the fly. She got it ready during lunch, and I got to write the example problems on her touch screen. I really liked using the touch screen--no messy chalk dust, overhead marker stains, or dry-erase board smudges.
