Rules
and Grades
- You
will submit all of your work to the online class via the web
site or email. Each of you will have a copy of a special email
mailbox and address that is ONLY FOR THIS CLASS. You must always
use this email for the class, and you may not use it for any
other emailing.
- You
must Cc to me a copy of everything you send in to the class;
if you submit info directly on the site, you must send me an
email with the info and the Unit you worked on. To send a Cc,
type "lburnet" where it says "Cc" at the
top of the email message. You will not receive credit for your
work if you do not do this!
- Never
use your full name, or give your address or phone number. Always
sign your work with your first name and last initial, and just
give Germantown Academy as your address.
- All
of your work must be appropriate for school in terms of content
and language.
- Each
week, we will devote one or two class periods to this activity.
You must check your mail in advance! Only one person can check
mail at a time, so if you have to wait around in class for others,
you will lose valuable time. Check your mail on your own, and
check it every day.
- You
will receive a grade for each activity out of ten (Fact Challenge,
Q and A, Timeline) or twenty points (Creative Writing, Art, Essay).
Each activity is essentially worth a small quiz, so treat it
as such. Your total Zeus Speaks grade will be out of 100 points,
the equivalent to a full-sized test. This is a good way to earn
points and help your grade--just be creative, constructive, and
work hard.
- All
of the info you submit must include your sources--your work will
not be posted otherwise!
- There
are a total of SIX assignments to do. There are NINE units in
Zeus Speaks. You will have three weeks where you can submit NOTHING.
Instead, use those weeks for more research time or for writing
or doing art. I must receive your work by Friday at 3:00 each
week for it to count.
