FOREWORD Welcome We are here to learn and to be successful
Positive attitude is the key of success. Let’s keep it all the time.
4
WHY DO WE HAVE PROCEDURES?
A procedure is the way that we do things. To do things right, we have to follow some simple procedures. To be successful in learning, you need to follow some simple procedures. We are all creatures of habit, and when we create good habits, life works smoothly.
5
ENTRANCE Make sure you have all necessary materials for class (Free Reading books, notebook, pencil or pen, and English book). Enter the classroom quietly and on time. Get out notebook and begin Warm Up (Journal or Edit)
6
DURING INSTRUCTION Listen to the teacher with full attention.
No pencil sharpening, talking,whispering,or asking to go the restroom. Pay attention and ask questions when you don’t “get it” Listen to instructions carefully and the first time the are given ?
7
WHILE YOU ARE WORKING INDIVIDUALLY
Make sure you read or listen to the directions about your work and understand them. If you didn’t understand, ask help from other students sitting around you. If they also don’t understand, ask to the teacher to explain it. Respect each other and be friendly. Use your time wisely. Put forth your best effort to finish your work on time.

While you are working with a partner or in a group
Code of conduct: ?

KEEPING A “Daily” You have a tab in your notebook labeled “ Daily”
Each day, there will be a journal topic and/or edit on the board for you to begin when you come in Put your name a the top of one sheet of paper and use that paper all week for these daily warm-ups Each day, put the date first before the entry Your journal will be collected and checked from time to time (usually every Friday). Turn it in on time when you are asked. Don’t write anything in your journal that you don’t want me to see. I can be held legally responsible for not reporting any troubled, threatening, or unlawful responses.
10
Keeping a Notebook You must have a medium sized 3-ringed binder by Friday with the tabs labeled: Journal, Writing, Literature, Vocabulary, and Grammar (in that order) Writing, Journal, and Vocabulary section will never be cleaned out The others will be cleaned out after each unit (I will let you know) I will periodically check the notebook and give you a quiz grade for necessary items (these checks will be random so keep it up to date!)
11
IF THE TEACHER RAISES HER HAND or RINGS THE COW BELL
Stop whatever you are doing at that moment. Face the teacher and wait silently. Notify any classmates who haven’t noticed that the teacher has raised his hand. No talking or whispering. All of your attention should be given to the teacher.
12
AFTER YOU ARE Finished Don’t ask me, “What do I do now?”
Check your work and ask any “ify” questions If the assignment is to be turned in, do so. Find something to do (appropriate examples: homework from another class, Free Reading, computer time, etc.)
13
DISMISSAL Clean your work area and take all garbage to the trash can. This is our home away from home so we need to keep it clean. Wait for Ms. Million to dismiss you. The ring of the bell does not dismiss you. DO NOT line up at the door After you get permission to leave, push in your chair and leave quietly. If it is the last period of the day, put chairs on top of desks. Thank You.
14
HOMEWORK PROCEDURE Late homework will receive zero credit Homework will be considered late if it is not completed at the beginning of class or when I ask for it. Homework is assessed for correctness, not effort. Major essays or projects will receive a ten point deduction per day up to five days. Afterwards no grade higher than a 50 will be given. No extra credit or second chances will be given to lazy and irresponsible students
15
WHEN YOU ARE ABSENT Tests will not be made up during the class period. It is up to the student to schedule a makeup test with the teacher (Before or after school) It is up to the student to find out what assignments have been missed. Check the website, the “While You Were Out” notebook, and ask a friend. Students have 5 school days from the date of an excused absence to make up all missed assignments or tests; however, if a student misses only the day an assignment is due, that assignment must be turned in the day the student returns. No credit will be given to a student who has missed a test or assignment due to an unexcused absence. Extra credit is not available in the English Department. The expectation is that students will complete the assigned work promptly. I do give extra points for students who have gone above and beyond my expectations for any assignment.
