  2. English 10th Grade Mrs. Honea 2017-2018 Springboard units Independent reading 2016-2017 • Springboard is the new resource that will be using this year. Each student will receive their own copy of the textbook. YOU MAY WRITE IN IT. THIS IS AWESOME! • Students will leave their textbooks in my classroom. If homework is needed, then apage may be ripped out of the book or you may access the text using Springboard Digital. • Springboard Digital Access Codes: • H World: BJOKPLWorld: XFBYHC EL World: WFROYB • Springboard is written/created by College Board. It is an incredible resource! • Repeat after me, “Reading is not going to be the death of me”….. It really won’t. I promise. • You will be expected to pick multiple free choice novels to read throughout the semester. • I will provide some of those novels from the wide variety on my bookshelves. • You will be asked to find some novels on your own. (The media center, etc.) • You will be responsible for completing reading tasks throughout the novel. Units of study • Unit 1- Cultural Conversations • Unit 2- Cultural Perspectives • Unit 3-Cutlures in Conflict • Unit 4- Dramatic Justice • Unit 5- Building Cultural Bridges Life Happens! Communication is key! This syllabus is subject to change at the discretion of the teacher, administration or any other factors affecting our learning. I look forward to a wonderful year of reading, writing, discussing and a lot of working! Please feel free to come to me with any concerns at any time. I am here to teach you, but also help you along this crazy journey!

  3. English 10th Grade Mrs. Honea 2017-2018 Late Work and Retests Absentee Policy 2016-2017 • Late work will be accepted for summative and formative assessments. Each day the work is late will count off a letter grade. • Example: Student A turns in summative assessment 3 days after original due date.. The student receives a 70% if everything else on the paper is 100% correct. (JUST DO THE WORK ON TIME!!!!!!!) • Homework will be accepted late, as long as a YELLOW SLIP has been completed and turned in on the due date. Points will be deducted for late homework at my discretion. • Students can fill out two GREEN SLIP per unit to request an appointment for tutoring and test retakes. • YES, WE DID SOMETHING IMPORTANT WHILE YOU WERE ABSENT. • * It is the student’s responsibility to check the class blog and/or in the Were You Absent Folder and Bins to find any assignments missed. • A student has five days to turn in any work assigned on a day a student was absent. • If a quiz was administered on a day a student was absent, the quiz must be made up on the first day the student returns. • If previously assigned work was due on the day of the absence, the work is due on the first day the student returns. Technology/ BYOD Students will participate in a BYOD classroom. BYOD stands for “bring your own device”. I encourage students to bring their devices to use for academic assignments. Students are expected to abide by all school and district digital safety rules and guidelines. Failure to do so will result in astudent being banned from technology while in my classroom. Unless given permission (BYOD sign will be GREEN not RED), all devices are PUT AWAY and on silent/vibrate (out of sight). plagiarism Cheating Plagiarism is taking the ideas and writings of another and passing them off as one’s own. In this class, plagiarism includes... 1. turning in another’s work as one’s own 2. copying work from a friend 3. including a source but failing to cite it 4. copying an author’s exact words and passing them off as one’s own Students caught plagiarizing will be given a ZERO for the assignment. • * The teacher will notify administration and contact parents if cheating / plagiarism is suspected. • The student will be given a zero for that particular test or assignment. • FILM • Videos and video clips will be used occasionally during the semester to enhance the understanding of literature. Each of the films will be tied to academic standards. Some videos and video clips have a PG, PG-13 or R rating for violence, language, or sexuality. Students are not required to watch any video that does not adhere to the beliefs or values taught in the home. A different assignment for educational enhancement will be assigned. The assignment will be equal to the length of time utilized for the video or clip. Please contact me via e-mail if you have a concern about your child watching films with these ratings.
