1. ASHMORE’S PROCEDURES 2014

2. YOU SUPER PUMPED TO TEACH YOU ALL! YOU ALL ARE AWESOME INDIVIDUALS AND I HOPE YOU CAN ALL UNDERSTAND HOW IMPORTANT YOU ARE TO THE FUTURE OF THIS COUNTRY! YOU LIVE DURING THE GREATEST TIME IN HISTORY!!

3. ENTERING THE CLASSROOM BE IN THE CLASSROOM BEFORE THE BELL RINGS OTHERWISE YOU ARE CONSIDERED TARDY. IN ORDER TO RECEIVE PARTICIPATION POINTS FOR THE DAY, BACKPACKS NEED TO BE DROPPED IN THE BACK OF THE CLASSROOM, MATERIALS NEED TO BE ON YOUR DESK, AND YOU NEED TO BE WORKING ON THE DAY’S BELL-WORK!! IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE MATERIALS FOR CLASS, GO GET THEM FROM YOUR LOCKER BEFORE THE BELL RINGS

4. BEGINNING THE DAY BELL-WORK YOU MAY WORK ON BELL-WORK SILENTLY AND INDEPENDENTLY! WHEN FINISHED, TURN PAPER OVER TO SIGNAL TO MYSELF THAT YOU ARE FINISHED!

5. DURING CLASS IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION, YOU MAY RAISE YOUR HAND AND WAIT FOR ME TO CALL ON YOU BEFORE ASKING! WE WILL BE HAVING DISCUSSIONS IN THIS CLASS AND IT IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT EVERYONE HAS DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES AND, AS WE ARE ALL YOUNG INDIVIDUALS, WE SHOULD BE RESPECTFUL OF OTHER PEOPLE’S OPINIONS! THE BEST WAY TO LEARN IS TO HAVE DISCUSSIONS WITH OTHER PEOPLE IN A RESPECTFUL MANNER BECAUSE IT CHALLENGES US TO REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT WE HOLD TRUE!

6. MORE DURING CLASS BATHROOM BREAKS: YOU HAVE TWO PER SEMESTER (SEE THE PIECES OF PAPER I AM GIVING YOU). IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO USE THEM, I WILL GIVE YOU EXTRA CREDIT POINTS AT THE END OF THE SEMESTER! AS SENIORS, YOU MAY USE THE BATHROOM DURING CLASS BREAKS PASSES TO OTHER CLASSES OR MRS. WILLIAMS OFFICE: IN ORDER TO LEAVE CLASS, YOU MUST HAVE A PASS FROM A TEACHER OR MRS. WILLIAMS FOR THE SPECIFIC DAY YOU NEED TO LEAVE! IF YOU CHOOSE TO ABUSE THIS, THIS PRIVILEGE WILL BE SUSPENDED.

7. HOMEWORK: DUE DATES: HOMEWORK IS DUE ON THE ASSIGNED DATE! IF YOU KNOW THAT YOU WILL MISS CLASS IN ADVANCE (EXCUSED ABSENCE): YOU NEED TO COME TALK TO ME FIRST TO GET WHATEVER WORK YOU WILL BE MISSING!!! WHY IT IS IMPORTANT: HOMEWORK IS A WAY FOR YOU TO SHOW YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE MATERIAL AND IT IS A WAY FOR ME TO UNDERSTAND IF YOU HAVE MASTERED WHAT I HAVE TAUGHT YOU!

8. END OF CLASS DURING THE LAST 5 MINUTES OF CLASS YOU WILL HAVE A QUESTION TO ANSWER, ON YOUR OWN, ABOUT WHAT INFORMATION WAS PRESENTED TO YOU IN CLASS THIS WILL BE DONE ON A PIECE OF PAPER THAT YOU WILL TURN IN TO ME BEFORE LEAVING CLASS! I WILL RETURN THESE TO YOU AT THE BEGINNING OF THE NEXT DAY’S CLASS SO YOU CAN REUSE! MAKE SURE YOU RIGHT DOWN THE READING ASSIGNMENT AND/OR HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT FOR THE NIGHT!
