Supplemental Reading
|
The goal of the supplemental reading assignment is for students to read a biology based popular press book. In IB Biology 1, one supplemental reading book must be read per semester as a required assignment in the classroom category of the grade book. The assignment is worth 100 class work points (which usually turns out to be about 2% of the overall grade, but this can vary). Students may read one additional supplemental reading book per semester as "above and beyond" points. However, students may only submit one supplemental reading per quarter. So, if a student wanted to read two books (one required and one above and beyond), he/she would turn in one supplemental reading assignment in first quarter and another in second quarter. The first submission would count for the required assignment and the second submission would count as Above and Beyond points.
In IB Biology 2, the supplemental reading is not required. However, if you'd like, you may read up to one book per quarter for "above and beyond" points. |
