NEWS:Class Expectations:
In this class, we will follow the conduct rules stated in
the Student Handbook.
A few reminders:
*You are to be
in your seat when the tardy bell rings, or you will be given a tardy.
*You must sit
in the same seat everyday unless I move you.
*You must use
pen (unless otherwise stated).
*You must
bring every book and workbook to class everyday.
*You must also
bring the following to class everyday, in addition to books and workbooks:
three ring notebook (at least 1”) to be used ONLY for English with 5 dividers
5-subject spiral
70-page spiral (with 3 holes to fit
notebook)
blue or black
pen(s)
red pen
wide-ruled
notebook paper (no college-ruled)
200 3”x5” WHITE notecards
100 3”x5”
We will do a variety of work in this class. Below are the main areas of study. These are also the different divided sections
you will need in your English notebook. The divisions will need to be in the order
listed below.
Grammar
Vocabulary
Writing
Literature
Poetry
You will also keep an assignment sheet in your notebook at
all times. The notebooks will be turned
in at the end of each six weeks. Your
papers should be in the appropriate section and in order of completion.
***This page is
required as the first page in your notebook***
Notebook Requirements
Notebooks will be collected on the last day of each six
weeks for a test grade. I DO NOT take notebooks late. The following is a list of requirements for
your notebook.
- Class expectations sheet as the first page
- Completed assignment sheet as the second page
- Labeled dividers in required order (see previous page)
- All work in appropriate section and in order of
completion
- All chapter/unit tests must remain in the proper section
until the end of the semester.
- I will not look in other sections for work. If it is not in the proper section, I
will not search for it, resulting in a lower grade.
70-page spiral
This is for Daily Grammar Practice (DGP). It will remain in your notebook throughout
the year.
Make-up Work
You are responsible for getting your make-up work from
me. If you don’t ask for it then you
will not receive it. This will result in
zeroes per the late work policy in the student handbook. If you are absent the day before a test, you
are still responsible for the test because the test date will be posted at
least a week in advance.
Re-tests
I DO NOT give re-tests due to low grades.
Every student should come prepared for tests.
Cheating
You will receive a zero if you are caught cheating. This includes letting someone use your paper
to copy. Also, you will receive a zero
if you are talking during a test (even if you have already turned yours in).
Extra Credit
I do not give extra credit.
Your six week grade will be the result of your assigned work throughout
the six weeks. If you should choose not
to do the work and/or study for exams, your six weeks grade will reflect
that.
