Look for periodic reminders of due dates from me or the FORPD staff.

All lessons, quizzes, surveys and literacy logs should be successfully completed by August 16th.! No credit will be given for participants unless all assignments, (including end of class surveys and evaluations), are completed.

Important - When doing lessons use the rubric given otherwise you may not get full points and may even be asked to redo the lesson. It's a good idea to print out all lesson rubrics and the literacy log rubric so you have them to refer to.

It is important that you keep up with the schedule!  It is very difficult to catch up later. Late discussions will be graded with the next discussion lesson graded. It is best to adhere to the posted schedule.  Don't fall behind or work ahead.
