Students will receive a weekly grade–Rehearsal Skills–as it reads on Pinnacle. Each student receives 25 points a week. They will only lose points if there are problems, i.e. not giving 100% effort in class, interrupting, not paying attention, talking during instruction, etc. There will be a letter grade according to how many points they receive. Attendance at performances are MANDATORY and will be graded. They are 40% of the grade but, I feel all the preparation that leads up to these performances are MOST important.
During each week, I will assess each student in class with these behaviors in mind:
Listens to and follows directions
Is actively involved in class activities
Strives for quality work
Shows a drive to improve vocal and performance skills
Is on time and prepared for class
Demonstrates a positive attitude toward self and others
Demonstrates responsible decision making
Interacts with others appropriately
Accepts consequences for actions
QUIZZES are graded based on the Lux Grading Scale:
A – 90-100%

B – 80-84%
C+ – 75-79%
C – 70-74%
D+ – 65-69%
D -60-64%

*Students may retake a quiz ONCE if they receive an ‘N’…and this may only occur within ONE week of the given quiz.
