  3. Objective • Course Objective: • To enhance mastery of the English language through the development of writing, vocabulary, grammar, and analytical reading.

  4. Grading • Grading Scale • Homework / Classwork / Participation 20% • Tests 15% • Final and Midterm 20% • Essays 20% • Quizzes 15% • Projects 10%

  5. Materials • Materials • 2 red, black, blue and green pens, or a 4-in-1 pen • 2 sharpened pencils • 1 spiral three subject notebook w/ pockets • 1 metal ring for vocab note cards (can be purchased from me for a quarter) • 1 pkg. of index cards • 1 hole puncher • 1 mini stapler • Plenty of college-ruled paper • Appropriate texts for this class

  6. Classroom Policies • Students must be in their seats and ready to work by the second bell. Any student not ready to begin will be marked tardy and will have to serve a fifteen minute detention that day after school, per Lancer Life. • No one is allowed to leave his/her seat or the classroom without permission. • Disruptions are distracting not only to the instructor, but to classmates. Any disruption of the class will not be tolerated and will result in an automatic detention.

  7. Classroom Policies • Being prepared for class is intrinsic for the success of your education; therefore you are expected to bring your supplies to class every day. • Students who voice opinions and offer information in class will be respected in the same way as the instructor, and any sign of disrespect toward the student or instructor will not be tolerated.

  8. Test / Quiz Policy When a student is absent the day of a test, it is the student’s responsibility to make arrangements with teacher in order to make up the test. The test must be made up as soon as the student returns to class. Make-up quizzes are not given.

  9. Grading and Assignment Policies • It is the responsibility of the student to acquire missing notes and assignments. If a student is absent s/he has the number of days missed to make up assignments.

  10. Grading and Assignment Policies • Late work may be accepted at the discretion of the instructor. It is imperative that students have all work ready to hand in when the assignment is collected, as the instructor may choose not to accept it after that time.

  11. Grading and Assignment Policies I do not “bump” grades at the end of the semester. I drop your lowest quiz grade and there are various (small) extra credit opportunities each semester. This means that all grades that are borderline will remain borderline at the end of the semester, i.e. a 79% will not be “bumped” to an 80%, nor will an 89% be “bumped” to a 90%.

  12. Cheating / Plagiarism Cheating and plagiarism will be severely punished if discovered by the instructor. Please refer to the Lancer Life under the heading “Cheating” for specific disciplinary actions that can, and will, be carried out by the instructor. The instructor maintains a no-tolerance attitude toward any matters concerned with both cheating and plagiarism.

  13. Texts Needed for Class • Literature Book: Prentice Hall Literature: Grade 10, Common Core Edition (provided by the school) • All-in-one Workbook: Prentice Hall Literature, Grade 10, 2010—please order as soon as possible • Novels: • Does My Head Look Big In This? by RandaAbdel-Fattah • Lord of the Flies by William Golding • Farewell to Manzanar by Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston.

  14. Final Thought • It is what we learn after we think we know it all, that counts. • John R. Wooden
