Article: Hopefully you will get your first members from the friends you ask. But some friends probably don't want to join. For those that don't, try not to take it personally. It's most likely that they just have different interests than you do. Most kids also have a lot of homework and extracurriculars, and it's often hard to add anything else. If you don't think your group has enough people in it already, make some posters. Explain what your group will be doing, when and where it will be meeting, and how to contact you for more information. If you're still needing members, ask if you can have a moment in class or in church to talk to people about your group. It's a great way to get to a lot of people at the same time, and then they can easily come up to you afterward and let you know they are interested.

Article: The easiest way to decorate with a fishnet is to hang it flat on a wall. You could display the net on its own, hang seashells or starfish in it, or place photographs of family and friends in it. Go with this option if you have limited space and want to keep your project simple. For a more elaborate feature wall, arrange the net around framed wall art or a nautical object. A framed map, beach-themed picture, driftwood, fishing poles, or a ship's wheel are all great choices. This is a good option if you want to dress up an existing wall display or if you want to create a one-of-a-kind installation. Hanging the net in a corner allows you to play with various shapes and add a third dimension. You could hang the net so it spans between 2 walls and the ceiling, then add nautical-themed accessories. Hanging the net in a corner is perfect if you need to add flair to a large, empty space. Hanging a fishnet on the wall at the head of a bed can add a beachy feel to any bedroom. You could also hang it around a canopy bed or suspend it around the bed from the ceiling. Get creative and dress up your headboard by draping the net around fishing poles, driftwood, and other nautical objects. You could also add a personal touch and make your initials by gluing together seashells. If you want to make a statement, hang the net on the ceiling around a skylight or recessed lights. Turn the net into a work of art by arranging lots of small chandelier crystals all over it. They'll catch the light and sparkle like beads of water clinging to a fishnet that's just been pulled from the sea. Make sure the net won't touch a hot light fixture, get tangled in a fan, or come into contact with an electrical outlet. If you have small children or pets, keep the net out of their reach, especially if you're accessorizing it with heavy or delicate objects.

Article: and let the students see it. A rubric is used to assign numerical values to various criteria used to make up the letter grade, usually based on a scale of 100. To get a letter grade, you assign numerical values to each section and tally the score. Making the students aware of the rubric used will keep the process transparent and eliminate the idea that you pull arbitrary grades out of nowhere. A rubric, for example, might look like this: Thesis and argument: _/40 Organization and paragraphs: _/30 Introduction and conclusion: _/10 Grammar, usage, and spelling: _/10 Sources and Citations: _/10 Let the students see a description of what an A means, what a B means, etc. Write your own according to your own specific criteria and emphasis for the class. Share it with the students so they can interpret the grade they receive. These are fairly standard designations, often worded like this: A (100-90): Work completes all of the requirements of the assignment in an original and creative manner. Work at this level goes beyond the basic guidelines of the assignment, showing the student took extra initiative in originally and creatively forming content, organization, and style. B (89-80): Work completes all of the requirements of the assignment. Work at this level is successful in terms of content, but might need some improvement in organization and style, perhaps requiring a little revision. A B reveals less of the author's original thought and creativity than A-level work. C (79-70): Work completes most of the requirements of the assignment. Though the content, organization, and style are logical and coherent, they may require some revision and may not reflect a high level of originality and creativity on the part of the author. D (69-60): Work either does not complete the requirements of the assignment, or meets them quite inadequately. Work at this level requires a good deal of revision, and is largely unsuccessful in content, organization, and style. F (Below 60): Work does not complete the requirements of the assignment. In general, students who put forth genuine effort will not receive an F. If you receive an F on any assignment (particularly if you feel you have given adequate effort), you should speak with me personally. Put the grade at the very end of the paper, after they've seen the rubric and your comments. Slapping a big letter grade at the top near the title will ensure that the student probably won't go through and read all the smart and helpful comments you've included. Some teachers like to hand out papers at the end of the day because they fear discouraging or distracting students during class time. Consider giving the students time to go through the papers in class and be available to talk about their grades afterwards. This will ensure that they read and understand your comments.
