My Accountability Agreement


My Accountability Agreement
Alex van der Mout
Revised 9/6/08

Focus:
-To become a better writer of essays and poems
-Learn how to write in different styles in stories, essays and poetry

Contributions:
-I am not disruptive in the class
-Bring my ideas to the fore and express them when possible
-Help my peers when they need assistance

Accountabilities:
-To do the best I can do in everything
-To finish assignments on time
-To stay on task while working on something

Supports:
-I need Ms. Dobson & Ms. Cooper (A.K.A homebase) to be there for me if I need a quiet place to work
-I need Mr. Murray to be there when I need someone to bounce ideas off of, or to better clarify some ideas if I have no idea what he is talking about, and to kick me in the ass when I need to do a better job and not a half-ass one
-I need my sister/brother to proof read my work before I hand it in

Measurements:
-My marks from the first report card to the final mark have increased
-My final mark is a level 4 or higher
-My writing abilities have gotten better
-I can write better, without writing more

Consequences:
-If I get a 75% or higher in every class, and a 80% average or higher I get to see a movie with my mother (agreement we have with each other)
-If I fail I lose a bet I have with my siblings (Who is better at English?.....it will obviously be me, they just don't realize it yet )
-If I succeed I will reward myself with a big tub of gummy worms............and I mean a HUGE container, or several smaller ones

The site is my2cents.ca, but I don't think they're accepting new applicants. You could surf around the site to see if you find anything - but the age limit is 17 for constant money, the rest of the time they egnerally send you sweepstakes entries (because they have monthly ones). So if you're still interested, check it out.
