Membean & Syllabus

Wednesday 30 August 2017 for Periods 5 & 6 and Thursday for Periods 1, 2, & 7

Devotional Text:  Matthew 5:43-48

Membean Enrollment
Students used classroom laptop computers to access www.membean.com/enroll.  A different token code was provided to students in each period.

Membean is an online vocabulary development program.

After students created an account, they completed an initial assessment by following the green rectangular command key labeled "Calibrate Now."

Once a student's vocabulary was determined, they completed fifteen minutes of vocabulary study and drills.

Students are expected to complete 40 minutes of Membean vocabulary training each week (typically during class time.)  Five percent of each student's English I semester grade is earned by completing the minimum amount of drill time on a weekly basis.

An individualized vocabulary test will be given during the first class of each week (Monday for Periods 1, 2, 4, 5 & 6 and Tuesday for Period 7).

Each vocabulary test is worth twenty points and will be included in the test category of the student's grade. The test category makes up thirty percent of a student's English I semester grade.

Quiz
Students took a quiz over the five terms given in the previous class period's notes.

Syllabus
Students received a copy of the class syllabus.

Homework
Read the course syllabus and complete the back page with a parent/guardian.  Return it the next class period for ten points.
