Class Information
Course Overview
This is a year long class that will focus on the Indiana writing, spelling, and grammar standards. Students will be encouraged to be independent thinkers and learners as the year progresses. Students will be using the 6 + 1 Traits of Writing in conjunction with our school improvement goals and best practice for writing.
Course Materials
Loose leaf paper
Blue or black ink pens
Red pen
Pencils
One subject notebook
Folder
Students are expected to come to class prepared each and every day. This means that they have their books, writing utensils, and notebooks. When students come unprepared they are not moving forward toward becoming responsible adults and waste valuable class time.
Homework
Homework will be given almost every night. Homework will be written on the board everyday and should be copied into the agenda. Answers to the homework will be posted on my website, http://honorsnotesfromtheoverhead.blogspot.com. Students can check their work nightly and come before school or during study hall with questions. Every day class will start with a homework quiz worth three points consisting of work from the previous night’s assignment. Students will be given two homework passes which they can staple to their quiz to be excused from that day’s quiz. The only exception to the homework quizzes will be test or large unit quiz days (typically Fridays).
Late projects and essays will work on a 10% system. For every day they are late it is 10% off the grade. Students will have up to 5 days to turn in the assignment. After 5 days it will not be accepted.
Grading
A basic 90/80/70/60 system will be used for determining the letter grade. If a student wishes to check their grade they may do so before or after school or through Parent Connect.
If a student notices a discrepancy in their progress report grade and their returned work they may show the assignment with grade to me during a non instruction time to have the score changed. Likewise, if they want to argue a point they need to see me during a non instruction time and be prepared to explain their point and use their materials to back their point up.
Absence
If a student is absent they will have the same number of days they were absent to make up the work starting when they return. It is the student’s responsibility to find out what was covered while they were gone and what work they need to do. If the work is not completed within that number of days it will not be accepted.
Classroom Conduct
Students are expected to behave in a responsible manner at all times. This means that they take responsibility for their actions and are respectful of and to others. Name calling, rude gestures, physical contact and other inappropriate actions or behaviors (such as those outlined in the student handbook) will be grounds for consequences. Any behavior that disrupts instruction or learning such as talking during lessons will also be grounds for consequences.
Students removed from the classroom due to behavior will receive a zero for any assignments completed in class that day.
Passes
Students will receive two hall passes per quarter. It is up to them when they use them. Passes may be used to go to their locker for materials, use the restroom, or get a drink of water. Once these passes have been used up, students will not be allowed to leave the room.
Students must sign out any time they exit the room and sign back in when they return. There will be a clipboard next to the door with the sign out sheet.
