DISCLOSURE PRESENTATION AKA: How to act “right" in English 12
The reasons I’m a nice teacher…in disguise... My children would prefer that I keep their identities incognito
About Me… • I’ll tell you some everyday information that you don’t hear just every day…. • (good review of that concept… everyday is one word because why?)
SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST: THE FOUR RULES • BE RESPONSIBLE-----Work Hard • BE HONEST---- • BE NICE---- • BE CLASSY ----
BE CLASSYOnly LADYLIKE and GENTLEMANLY behavior will be welcome/toleratedat all times
This is my limit of “crude” Photo by my oldest daughter, Karen…
Any Incident Involving the following rules results in a 20 point deduction to your grade…each time it occurs.
SUBJECTS NOT OPEN TO DISCUSSION OR TO WRITING: • Criticism or complaining about administrators or other teachers. • ANYTHING sexual/ homosexual. • Negative LABELS about people…”He’s a _____”or “she’s a ________ “(This includes using these in conversation about someone in my classroom). • NO INNUENDOS…you are saying something inappropriate without really saying it. • ABSOLUTELY NO SWEARING!
THE BOTTOM LINE IS: DON’T MESS WITH ME ON ANY OF THOSE THINGS BECAUSE I WILL NAIL YOU BEFORE YOU’LL KNOW WHAT HIT YOU. REMEMBER….act/talk like ladies and gentlemen.
BE NICE • Do not write on the desks! EVER! • Stay out of Mrs. Hartvigsen’s Inner Sanctum. • Maintain Backpacking GarbageRule: If you pack it in, pack it out! • ONLY WATER IS ALLOWED…not even Gatorade or Vitamin Water when you are bulking up on game day… • NO ELECTRONIC DEVICES… • And for sure... • No weapons…or food…or food intended to be used as weapons.
Entertainment Break:THE EUROPEAN “ZOO” EXPERIENCE:You have heard about countries without borders, well, this is a reserve without cages….
While you worry that their friend is going to drop down on your head out of the tree which shades you…
WORK PROCEDURES: Remember: The Tassel is worth the Hassle!
Hand Assignments in ON TIME: • DO NOT EMAIL ASSIGNMENTS. • Due at the beginning of class for full credit. • If you are in attendance and unprepared, it is ½ credit after assignments are collected, after school, or the next time we meet. • The next time we meet, it will be ¼ credit, then zero after that.
WHAT IF I AM ABSENT? • Check the Blog • If you are absent one day, you have one day to finish your assignments for full credit. • Take care of yourself by taking care of your responsibilities…The responsible people are always happier. • Long-term projects/papers must be handed in on the due date. Send them with a friend or have your parents bring it to school. • Work for unexcused absences/sluffs will not be counted. • Parents have three days to excuse absences.
OTHER INFORMATION: • Midterm is the cutoff date for any work up until that point. • No makeup work is accepted the last week of the term. • Any cheating/plagiarism will result in failing for the term. • Make a goal to complete every assignment and hand them in on time, and that is your recipe for success.
