Notes

Mastery Grades have really helped me to become a better writer and have helped increased my skills in English. I now feel confident doing things on my on and knowing that they are satisfactory. The repetition of mastery grades made sure that I was able to mastery each skill so that I would be able to successfully complete them without any help. Mastery Grades have also really helped my grade. Showing mastery four times can get you an 100 in the grade book and really boost your grade. They have also helped my work ethic. I’ve become more organized and am able to manage my time well.I feel that redoing assignments to get a better grade also helps us to learn more and fix our mistakes which is what mastery grades are all about. At the beginning of the year I didn’t really like the idea of mastery grades, but now I don’t have a problem with them. Im glad we have them so that I can learn different skills and master them. I wouldn’t change anything about them. Analyze author’s style and distinctive use of language reflective of a culture or worldview including, but not limited to, dialect, figurative language, and rhetorical devices. One of our mastery grades was annotation. When annotating we had to analyze the story and be able to make connections and comprehend the passage.
