IXL Grammar Homework Assignment

IXL: Grammar Homework Assignments

This year, you will be using IXL (IXL.com or IXL app) to complete grammar homework assignments for your English/Language Arts (ELA) class. You will begin working on NOUN skills and, by the end of the year, work your way through at least six total parts of speech: nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, and conjunctions. 

Because many 6^th graders’ language skills are below average, and to ensure that all students receive the appropriate foundational instruction before they attempt grade-level content, all students will be required to work through several different levels of specific language skills.  

You will receive formative assessment credit (.25 pts) for each section successfully completed with a score of 85 or above, with a minimum of 20 questions attempted. Once you have completed ALL of the teacher recommended sections for one part of speech, you will take an in-class summative assessment over that content and then proceed on to the next part of speech as outline below. (This will allow students to somewhat work at their own pace.) 

Directions:

1.   Login to IXL by going to www.ixl.com/signin/rowancountyms
    
2.   Begin by working on the recommended IXL NOUN levels/sections (see spreadsheet on back).
   
3. ALL 61 sections must be completed by teacher-specified due date. (Right now we are shooting for the end of the 9-weeks, but may adjust that based on student needs.)
   
4. You must attempt at least 20 questions per section AND achieve a score of 85 or higher on that section before moving on to the next recommended section.
    
5. You MUST complete the sections in order, starting with the sections in Level C.
    
6. Once ALL NOUN levels have been completed, you will complete an in-class summative assessment over nouns. Then, you’ll be released to work on the next part of speech! 
7. ALL NOUN sections need to be completed by the end of the 1st nine weeks.
