  1. 8th grade language arts Ms. Darnell

  2. expectations • Follow all rules in the WCPSS Student Handbook. • Follow all NGMS rules and expectations. • Follow all team rules. • Don’t be late! The tardy policy will be enforced! • Use appropriate language and follow the dress code. • Academic dishonesty will not be tolerated. • Be a buddy, not a bully! • Respect your teachers and peers.

  3. Be Prepared • You are expected to bring the following to class each day: • Learner’s Notebook (Five-subject spiral notebook preferred) • Pencil • Agenda • Colored pencils • Glue stick • Book currently being read • Homework/assignments due

  4. Absences • You are always expected to make up missed work! • It is your responsibility to take the initiative and seek out missed notes/assignments. • “While You Were Out” bin contains handouts/notebook materials you may have missed while absent. • I am happy to help you catch up on missed work, but YOU must take the initiative to make up missed assignments. • Missed work must be completed and turned in no later than two school days after the absence. • Absences DO NOT prevent you from taking tests on their assigned date if I feel you are prepared for the test.

  5. Late work • Late work = lower grades! • One day late = 90% highest grade possible • Two days late = 80% highest grade possible • More than two days late = work will NOT be accepted • Zeros will be given until an assignment is turned in. If an assignment is never turned in, that grade will remain a zero.

  6. Grading policy

  7. Reading logs • Read 20-30 minutes each night at least five times per week • Kept in your notebook and signed by a parent/guardian • Read what you want! • Checked each Monday (you have Monday-Sunday to complete the log)

  8. Bring books to class! • It is required that you bring a book you are reading to each class. • If you have outstanding library materials or fines from previous years, please turn in your materials or pay your library fines immediately!

  9. Language arts Notebook (LAN) • We will use this notebook every single day, in Language Arts class AND guided study. • Think of your LAN as your personal textbook that will be added to and completed throughout the year. • Scheduled notebook checks throughout the quarter for a test/classwork grade. • Random notebook checks are also possible. • Your first notebook check is THIS FRIDAY!

  10. Article of the week • You will receive an article that you are responsible for reading, annotating, and reflecting upon each week. • This is an assignment that will not be kept in your LAN. • Articles will be given on Mondays; annotated articles and one page reflections will be due on Fridays.
