  7. These are coupons that will be rewarded by me to any student displaying exceptional behaviors. • They may be used to excuse a late assignment, tardiness, forgotten materials, or for extra credit. McBucks

  8. At the beginning of class • Come in and check overhead • You have 5 minutes to complete task KICKOFF

  9. Due dates will be listed on the board. • Assignments are due at the beginning of class. • Anything less will receive a 10% deduction per day late. ASSIGNMENTS

  10. It is your responsibility to find out what assignments and notes you missed. • School policy will be followed for turning in assignments. ABSENCES

  11. Whether it is for tardiness or because you need to go to the restroom, you are hampering your learning and the learning of others. • It would not be just of me to allow you to do this. Therefore, it will cost you one McBuck for each disruption. • If you don’t have a McBuck, you can owe me one. If you do not pay me back, it will affect your grade. CLASSROOM DISRUPTIONS

  12. Answering questions, taking part in discussions, and taking notes are considered participating. • Discussions will be focused and respectful. • Failure to participate in class will affect your grade. CLASSROOM PARTICIPATION

  13. The success of this class relies on group participation. • We will spend considerable time working together in small groups and as a whole class. • If you become frustrated with another student, I expect you to inform me so that I can assist in resolving the conflict. WORKING COOPERATIVELY

  14. I will do my best to assist your learning process. • I cannot read your mind. • If you become confused, please make me aware so that I or another member of the class can solve your conundrum. UNDERSTANDING THE LESSON
