Homework and Reading

Reading:
Students are required to read 20 minutes or 20 pages every school day (whichever comes first).
That means students should be reading approximately 100 minutes or 100 pages per week. The overall reading requirement for 7th graders is 400-600 pages per term. For 8th graders it is 600-800 pages per term.
Even though this may sound like a lot, it works out to be 10-20 pages per day, 5 days a week, and is definitely do-able.
Their reading will be tracked with weekly reading reports due on the last school day of each week and it will count for approximately 20% of their final grade. It is unlikely that a student will pass if they do not participate in their reading homework.
Other homework assignments may be given in addition to their nightly reading assignment. These include vocabulary drill and practice, writing assignments, projects, presentations, and study assignments. These assignments will be posted on the blog as needed.

Tareas y Lectura

La mayoria de las tareas en mi clase son asignaciones de lectura. Está requisito por la ley del estado que los estudiantes para recibir crédito en su clase de Inglés lean 400-600 páginas cada término escolar en el septimo grado, 600-800 páginas en el octavo grado.
Aunque parece muchisimo, no será tan dificial para los estudiantes que lean diariamente. Solo tienen que leer 10-20 páginas al dia, Lunes a Viernes para cumplir su meta. Además, la lectura en su clase de SWELL cuenta para mi clase, tambien.
Para ayudarles más, no voy a asignar muchas tareas encima de la lectura. Solo voy a mandar que terminan su lectura y pedir que los padres firmen su "log" de lectura cada semana. Sus "logs" de lectura cuentan aproximadamente 20% de su grado final en mi clase y están debidos el Lunes. Entonces, es sumamente importante terminar su lectura y entregar su hoja. Los estudiantes que no cumplen su lectura se encontrarían que es muy difícil pasar éste curso.
Una vez en cuanto van a tener tareas de proyectos, presentaciónes, al estudiar para los exámenes, y vocabulario. Voy a poner tareas así en ésta página del internet cada Lunes.
