** “due” means AT THE BEGINNING OF CLASS WHAT DOES “DUE” MEAN?? ** “due” means AT THE BEGINNING OF CLASS ** not turned in at beginning of class = LATE ** DO NOT try to complete late work during class time . . . I have planned for you to do NEW WORK during class time. ** LATE = 70% of earned grade – so if you EARN 100%, it is recorded as a “C.” If you EARN 80%, it is recorded as a “D.”
Privilege Passes
Options for Late Work Don’t turn it in, take the zero (kills your grade) Turn it in late, take the late grade = 70% of earned grade Turn it in w/ Privilege Pass = 100% of earned grade

Q3 “Self-Selected” Reading
Library last 20 today 1A = 8:55 2A = 10:32 1B = 8:55 2B = 10:32
Q3 “Self-Selected” Reading Select a NEW book that you have NEVER read before Books w/ movies are okay . . . You can even see the movie!!! . . . But you also need to read the book. At least 200 pages, probably more, and appropriate for your reading level You are looking for a FICTION book, or a non-fiction biography . . . Not a textbook, not a topic (“auto mechanics”) . . . You will need to discuss STORY STRUCTURE and CHARACTER. If you finish this book before the end of the quarter, you will select another book and KEEP READING There WILL be a book talk (slightly diff) . . . We’ll discuss later.
Heading to the library . . . Expectations: You are still in my class. All rules apply. No cell phone use in the library (unless your book is on it). Select book(s). When you have a book, go to the north corner of the library (by the computer lab, where the exercise bikes used to be – now there are some stools and tables there). READ until the end of class. It is a privilege and joy to read in the library, surrounded by all of those beautiful books and possibilities!!!
