English 11 Honors Classroom policies and procedures
Classroom expectations • Follow all Clark County School District policies. • Follow the dress code. • Adhere to the cell phone and electronic device policy. • Be on time for class and ready to learn. • Follow the classroom social contract. • Be polite. • Clean up after yourself.
A note about language… • I expect my students to maintain civil discourse in my class. As such, I do not allow vulgarity (cussing) or negative remarks about race, gender, or sexual orientation in my classroom.
Books and materials • The textbook is American Literature. • Independent reading books will be made available in class. • You should have a binder or notebook for this class with ample paper to write with. • All final drafts must be done in blue or black ink only. You may type final drafts, but you are responsible for printing them before class.
Seating chart • There will be a seating chart in English 11 Honors. • Once the seating chart is set, it is non-negotiable. If you need to sit close to the front of the class, please let me know before I make the seating chart. • I reserve the right to change the seating chart or individual seats to best benefit classroom instruction.
Start of class • We will have a Quick Write (QW) on the board. • The QW is a daily question that should be answered in one paragraph (5-7 sentences). • The QW is stamped in class. Stamped QWs are worth one point. Unstamped QWs are half a point. • QWs are turned in at the end of the week.
Grading policy • Quarter Grades will be determined by the following: • Tests and Essays 40% • Classwork/Homework 25% • Projects 25% • Quick Writes 10%
Make-up work policy • Per CCSD policy, students who are absent have three days to request make-up work. • Upon receiving your make-up work, you have three days to complete it. • Tests must be made up after school within one week of your absence. • See me before or after school about make-up work.
Missing work policy • I expect to receive your assignments when they are due. • Late class work or homework (i.e. work that you chose to not do and turn in on the day it was due) will lose 10% credit per school day of being late. • Late work received five or more school days after the due date will lose 50% credit.
Missing work policy • All late/missing work and make-up work should have the following information on it: Your name; the name of the assignment; the original due date; the date you turned it in; my initials. • Late/missing and make-up work should be turned in to the basket. • Late/missing work will be graded at my convenience.
Graded assignments • Graded assignments will be in the basket for your class. Baskets are located on the bookshelves. • Please check your grades against grades in ParentLink. If I have made an error, bring your graded paper to me immediately so I can correct it.
Extra credit • Extra credit opportunities are given to all students. I do not give extra credit to an individual just so you can raise your grade. • ALL missing work must be turned in before you do an extra credit assignment.
Electronic devices in class • Please do not play on your phone, text, or listen to music during class. Earbuds/headphones should be put away. • You may use your phone to take photos of information on the board, lesson plans, etc. • It would behoove you to have a dictionary app on your phone.
