Even if you do not consider yourself a leader, you will uncover qualities and skills within yourself by the end of the semester. The key to this is YOU….what you put into this class and its activities is what you will take from it. It will only be as meaningful as you allow it to be.

Students will compose and present several speeches and team presentations. Students will complete daily journal entries which reflect on related issues. Students will identify and demonstrate the concept of leadership and its impact on society.

7. Daily Procedures Read the board when you walk in the room for the agenda and any notes from me If HW is due, turn into the appropriate HW box (unless board says otherwise) Sit down before bell rings Be ready for whatever the class has in store!

8. Homework Hints HW and assignments are considered LATE if you do not turn them in when they are called for in class. You may turn assignments in late, for partial credit until the end of class the next time the class meets after the original due date. After the secondary deadline, the work may still be completed and turned in, but will NOT receive credit. Please use your FULL NAME (First and Last) on all assignments Assignments should be neat, easy to read, on full sheets of paper, and done to the best of your ability.

9. If You are Absent Check the class website to see what you missed. Then check for any notes or handouts that you missed. If you missed a quiz or test, it is YOUR responsibility to see me after class to arrange a time to take it. If you missed notes, borrow a friend’s to copy or check out the links on the website to see if they are posted. If you fail to make up missed work, tests, or quizzes, they will become zeroes.
