  1. ELA with Miss Jordan 2014/2015

  2. Homework • There will be homework, however, not every day. • Whenever homework is assigned, it will be graded. • Always be sure to write your homework in your planners. • Homework will be posted on the website on Mondays but it is subject to change! That means, don’t rely on the website!

  3. Vocabulary • We will work on different vocabulary units throughout the school year. • For each unit there will be a vocabulary test. • You HAVE to write your vocabulary and show it to me the day of the test or YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO TAKE THE QUIZ. • Strategy: Read-Write-Speak • Not taking the quiz = 0% • Writing Vocabulary: flashcards, tables, typing it up, handwritten…

  4. Writing Prompts • Each month you will have to work on a writing prompt. You have one entire month to work on them and they will be due the last class day of the month. • The prompts will either focus on the theme of the unit or a specific writing style we work on during class. • You can find a copy of your writing prompt on the writing board.

  5. Daily Grammar Practice - DGP • Every day you will work on grammar. • DGP will take place as independent learning the first 10-15 minutes of class. • Extra worksheets will be provided and of course, we can always go over the rules together. • Please ALWAYS ask if you have questions. • DGP needs to be handed in on Fridays.

  6. DEAR • DEAR = Drop Everything And Read • DEAR will hopefully take place 2-3 times a week at the end of class. • Sometimes you will get a little assignment to go along with your reading, sometimes it is just reading for fun. • You can read a book that you bring to class, a book from the library, a book from here, a magazine, a newspaper, a textbook, etc.

  7. Books in the ELA classroom • All the books that are in the classroom can be checked out and taken home. • Please always tell that you want to check it our and I will write it down. • Please always return the books or you will have to pay for them. • Take advantage of the books we have here.

  8. Planners • Planners are mandatory! Not having one is not an option. Planners need to be purchased through the school. • Use it as a learning tool and write down your homework, test dates, deadlines, etc.

  9. Plagiarism • Definition: The act of stealing or passing off the words or ideas of another as one’s own without crediting the original source. • If you plagiarize, I will know. • Plagiarism = 0% in the assignment. No excuses.

  10. Have Fun  We are here to learn but also to enjoy what we are doing!
