Grading/Themebook

 

The theme book is required and will serve as 50% of your individual grade for this educational experience. Your attitude and behavior during the entire trip will make up the other 50%. All staff members who are part of the Point Reyes trip will evaluate your work as a team member to determine your points. The grade will be included as part of your History, Science and Language Arts grade.
