Welcome to English 1.
In class today, we are reviewing the course criteria sheet and the overall classroom policies.
Please return the signed criteria sheet and photo release form by Tuesday 7 September for a homework grade.
Important reminder: The summer reading essay on the two required choice books will take place on Monday 13 September. Please remember to turn in your graphic organizers at that time.
Topics:
Tardiness- The expectation is that students will arrive on time; if late, a pass is needed to avoid being marked tardy. Most days there is bell work, for which five minutes will be allowed. As this counts for 20% of the class grade, it is important to take advantage of the full amount of allotted time.
Food- none allowed in class.
Ten minute rule- per school policy, no one is allowed out of the classroom the first and last ten minutes of the class.
Phones and other electronic equipment- per school policy, they are not allowed. Students will be requested once to put the item away. A second request will be accompanied by a referal to the office, where an administrator will reliquish the item to be collected at a later date either by the student or a parent.
In class participation- married word game: meet and greet.
HOMEWORK: please make yourself a follower of this blog.
