Riveting Research – Students will learn research, note taking, and organizational skills. These activities will involve the use of the media center and technology to obtain research.
Valuable Vocabulary – Students will increase their “word power” by learning Greek and Latin roots/prefixes, as well as other descriptive words that will make their writing and speeches come “alive.”
Luscious Literature – Students will read works from various genres, time periods and authors. Selections will include short stories, poetry, novels, dramas, speeches and essays.

9. Grading Scale
I use the 100 point scale, so some assignments have more points than others. It depends on the assignment. A:
B: 80-89
C: 70-79
D: 60-69
F: 0-59

10. Make-up Work Policy
It is very important that students are in class each day because there is valuable information that they need for the next steps.
Students are eligible to make up work if they have an admit or an excused tardy.
They have one week to make- up any assignments.
