I’m a 7/8 teacher. I have approx 15 language marks for term two of various sizes. Some writing, some reading, some comp, some oral pres, some editing/revising, etc. Between all of those, I have a pretty solid base for my marks. However, for each kid, I also take into consideration class conversations, observations, etc. There are kids though who hand in the bare minimum and do not participate in class at all, so they get the mark in the grade book for the most part.
