All students must maintain an "ASSIGNMENT PORTFOLIO".

·          All written assignments are to be submitted in the  approved ASSIGNMENT PORTFOLIO. The portfolio should contain class notes, all written assignments, worksheets/Study Guides, signed test papers, website reviews, article reports, and whatever papers the teacher says to put in the portfolio. Assignments should be completed in ink or word processed. When a textbook assignment calls for answering questions, it is required that the question be written out in full.   A letter grade will be given for the “assignment portfolio’ toward the end of each marking quarter. The assignment portfolio will be graded according to the following guidelines:
