Music Class Grading Policy Guide

Music class grades will be based on weekly participation (10% of the grade) and cumulative graded activities (90% of the grade). For participation, students can earn up to 10 points each week for following directions, participating, providing correct answers, volunteering, and supporting peers. Cumulative activities will be assigned every 4 weeks to assess standards and students can earn up to 100 points by demonstrating their mastery of rhythmic patterns. The grading rubric will evaluate elements like keeping a steady beat and clarity of speech. Students can make up cumulative activities by scheduling time with the teacher.

and the second is a cumulative graded activity.

each student has the chance to earn 10 points towards their participation
grade. The grading rubric for participation is as follows:
