[LIT] Number/type of grades posted weekly

[Caroline Mooney]

My students receive a grade each week for their outside reading-anything
read outside of class. We complete a class novel every four weeks, and the
test is based on the GA Standards. Essentially, the questions are directly
from the standards. But here's how I grade:

25% weekly reading-100 minutes per week
25% 4 AR test per 9 weeks (average them together)
25% Weekly Vocabulary test (prefixes and suffixes)
25% Writer's Notebook (written responses of which I have a rubric)

This seems to be working well for me, and it's easy-except I do read many
written responses.
