Grading Papers

I just spent four hours grading papers.  I didn't even touch the Flip Book projects.  That's for tomorrow. 

It has been said that teacher's grade papers from the top of the stairs.  They throw the whole stack into the air.  The papers landing closest to the top are A's.  Right below them are the B's.  Next are the C's, and then the D's.  Anything hitting the floor below failed.  This is nothing more than urban legend.  But it should be true.

In a pass/fail class it's even easier.  Face up passes; face down fails.  Bleary-eyed as I am, this plan looks to be a thing of beauty.
