- 2017 School Year
Mr. Marchand
Objective: To provide Seton
Keough High School students with a perspective on "big" issues that
link events, trends and concepts being studied.
There are two types of journals. Each
type of journal must be addressed properly.
1. Text topic - This type of
response will examine a topic covered in the text and will ask you to
analyze and assess the topic.
2. Analysis question -
The question will ask for a link between concepts.
Standards - Journal responses must be typed
and double spaced, and should take no more than a page.
An A
Journal entry will accurately respond to the prompt. The answer will
include
support from the text, documents or the events for each assertion.
A B Journal entry will accurately respond to
the prompt, and will fairly clearly answer the question. The
answer will include support from the text/document for most assertions.
A C Journal entry will describe the prompt,
and will fairly clearly answer the question. The answer will
include support from the text/document for some assertions.
A D Journal entry will describe the prompt, or
will include some support
from the document.
An F Journal entry will meet no objectives.
