  8. Starting each class… •  All homework is due at the beginning of the class unless otherwise instructed by the teacher. • If it is not in my hands when class starts, it is late. • Come in quietly and take your seat. • Be ready to answer the bell-ringer question in your spiral (when applicable).

  9. Textbooks • The class will have one class set of textbooks. • You may NEVER take a textbook home without teacher permission. The books are very expensive and carry a heavy fine for damaging them. • In addition, every page on the textbook can be found on-line, including homework questions. • Textbook website = no excuses • http://my.hrw.com/

  10. Academic Dishonesty • Academic dishonesty includes copying the work of another student, plagiarism, and unauthorized communication between students during an examination.  The determination that a student has engaged in academic dishonesty shall be based on the judgment of the classroom teacher or other supervising professional employee, considering written materials, observation or information from students, this includes not citing sources for academic papers.  Students found to have engaged in academic dishonesty shall be subject to disciplinary and/or academic penalties.  Such action shall be determined jointly by the teacher and campus administrator.

  11. Yes!!!! We have a SUB today! • During a my absence, a substitute is used to teach the classes for that day.  Students are expected to follow the proper behavior and procedures for this instructor.  Failure to do so will result in a parent meeting to discuss proper classroom behavioral procedures. • I pick mean subs. Be nice.

  12. Late Work…No, that will never happen ;) • If you are absent, you will be given an extra class period per absence to complete the homework.  Each student is responsible for getting and completing work that is missed; this includes work missed for being tardy. 

  13. But…I’m so TIRED! • Sleeping • If you fall asleep or look as if you about to fall asleep, you will be asked to stand at the back of the class. • This is not meant to embarrass you. It is meant to help you wake up. • If you are a disruption when standing, you will be sent to the office.

  15. PreAP • Reading Strategies • I don’t care what the names of people are in the story or what they do in the story. • I care what the author’s purpose was in writing the story, and how the author made you care (if they did). • Writing Strategies • I care about your ability to clearly express your ideas, and if you are able to make your reader care about your point.

  16. Books to Buy-Merry Christmas! • The Epic of Gilgamesh-Anonymous • The Tempest- Shakespeare • Joy Luck Club-Amy Tan • Fahrenheit 451-Ray Bradbury
