Student Performance Documentation Form Instructions for Calculating Percentage Mark: Give each student a score for each lesson’s work based on the point distribution guidelines. To calculate the percentage score: Divide the Total Number of Points Earned by the Lesson Total, then multiply by 100. Example: Student scored 61 points out of a possible 65 points. 61 ÷ 65 = .94 X 100 = 94% Criterion for mastery in the novel studies is 80%. Additional space has been provided on the Student Performance Documentation Form for students who do not achieve mastery to redo the lesson or to improve their mark. A key has been provided at the bottom of the form for extended response and background passages. Data from reading checkouts and the End of Unit Test should be recorded on the Class Summary Chart that can be found at the end of the Teacher Presentation Book and in the Blackline Master Envelope.
