  3. Expectations General • Students are expected to enter class each day to learn. This is a give and take procedure.

  4. Expectations Grading • Students are assessed in a variety of academic situations and activities. Assessments are based solely on demonstrated student progress and achievement of reasonable and clear standards.

  5. Expectations Late work • Students are responsible for completing assignments in a timely and professional manner. Late work will be accepted, but penalized.

  6. Expectations Class Materials • Students must be prepared for class each day. This includes bringing all supplies necessary, plus texts that are being used. A Writer’s Notebook is required for the class and must be with the student each day. Students are encouraged to use their planners to denote all assignments and deadlines. IDs must be with students at all times throughout the school day, this class is no exception.

  7. Expectations Make-up work • A student with an excused absence may make up any work and will have one day plus the number of days absent in order to do so. In order to preserve test security, students may be required to take a missed test immediately upon return from an authorized absence if that student has had the opportunity to access all learning prior to the absence. Students missing a group or individual presentation may also be required to give that presentation upon return.

  8. Expectations Absences and Tardies • I will follow Mountain Range attendance policy as it is specified in the Student Planner and Parent/Guardian Handbook. Please be in class on time!

  9. Expectations Food and Drink • The revised food and drink policy in the student handbook will be followed in this class as in others. In short, this policy mandates that student privileges to eat light snacks and drink from approved containers in the hallways and classrooms is entirely based on how well the student body cleans up after itself in said areas.

  10. Expectations Plagiarism/Cheating • Plagiarism means to present, as one’s own work, the work, writing, words, ideas or computer information of someone else. These sources could be published or unpublished. Cheating is supplying receiving or using inappropriate devices to improve performance on a test or assessment. Students who engage in plagiarism or cheating will be disciplined according to the school discipline matrix.

  11. Expectations Electronic Devices • The use of cell phones for any purpose during class time is inappropriate and rude. Please turn your cell phones off in my class. If you refuse to abide, your phone will be confiscated for the duration of the class. • The same goes for IPods or other mp3 players; however, there will be times in class when such devices will be permitted. Such privileges have to be earned and maintained.

  12. Expectations Relax, have fun and contribute. This will be a productive, good year. Be positive and participate…

  13. Essential questions • What is culture? • How is it reflected in literature? • How is the evolution and transcendence of ideas reflected in the literary works of respective ages and cultures worldwide? • What is absolute about the human experience?

  14. Primary Works Semester One: • The Odyssey • The Inferno • The Stranger • No Longer Human Semester Two: • Medea/Antigone • Chronicle of a Death Foretold • From Sleep Unbound • A Doll’s House • The Brideprice
