__**Student Contract**__

I understand that the classroom is a place for learning and I will do my utmost to respect other people, my own learning, and the classroom environment.

You must complete enough activities to make 100 points.

I agree to complete a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 5 ‘C’ activities. I agree to complete a minimum of 1 ‘B’ activity I agree to complete a minimum of 1 ‘A’ activity.

If I complete activities worth more than 100 points (including the minimum per category), I understand that my mark will be based on the activities where I achieved the highest marks after the minimum has been met.

__**Negotiating my own activity**__

__**Final marks**__

I understand that the final grading is as follows;

Grade A = 80-100% Grade B = 60-79% Grade C = 40-60%
