Grading
Music Appreciation is an academic class, and each student begins with an A in this class.
Students’ grades will be based upon homework, tests/quizzes, daily participation,
listening log, and projects.
The homework is due the next day at the beginning of class. If the homework is turned in
later, the student will not receive full credit. PARTIAL CREDIT IS BETTER THAN NO
CREDIT!!!!
If a student has an excused absence when the homework is due, then the student can turn
in the homework the next day of school for full credit. Students are responsible for asking
Mr. Henry for the material they missed in class.
Classroom Conduct
Conduct in the classroom is very important. We need a positive environment where
everyone feels safe to share their thoughts/opinions or try new activities, whether it is
with a partner or when working alone. This begins with respect. Respect yourself, your
classmates, the music, and the teacher. Positive participation will ensure the best grade
possible!
All of the school rules apply, including gum. There will be no gum chewing in the
classroom. If Mr. Henry has to ask you more than once to not have gum, consequences
will be given for your actions.
Remember: treat everyone how you would want to be treated.
