Participation+Points

(How to lose points, actually)

You start each day with five points, so 25 per week. This is easily about a **third** of your marking period grade. Here are some ways to lose points, although of course the list isn't all-inclusive. (For instance, "throwing acorns" is not on the list, yet it falls under both "distractions" and "off-task". Use your brain to decide what's okay.)

wandering around off-task in general distracting in general passing notes not writing @ wrong desk and off-topic talking during Reading Workshop abuse of computers - both physically and off-task abusing passes rude to teacher/disrespectful destruction of property - books, computers, binders, etc. throwing things sleeping yelling across room not reading during Reading Workshop "true" reading - not grabbing a book last second and putting it back on shelf when time is up
