How do I raise my grade?
Celebrate what you've accomplished.. BUT raise the bar each time you succeed.
Excellent question! Here are some ideas:
- Be sure that you have submitted all missing assignments. I will not accept extra point activities until all other assignments have been completed. Extra credit is EXTRA, outside of our regular activities.
- You can submit corrections on formative assessments (classwork and homework) for full credit.
- You can do corrections on quizzes for partial credit (1/3).
- Submit extra activities for language use points in order to bump up your score on that grade. It is possible to get over 100%! Here are many ways to earn points in class: Participate in class by answering questions, volunteering, asking questions, interacting with other students in French, working well with a group, etc.
- If you have been absent or just have not spoken up as much in a given week, n'ayez pas peur! You can do extra practice activities for the topics that we are working on using sites like Quizlet, Tex's French Grammar, Conjuguemos.com, or lepointdufle.net.
- If you have turned in all work, submitted extra practice activities, completed accurate corrections, and are still on the brink of a better grade, let me know! If you are willing to put in extra work, I am willing to work with you!
