  1. WELCOME TO ENGLISH! We are going to have an AWESOME year!

  2. Policies (Rules) **Follow the student handbook and we won’t have any issues!** • Be creative! Just not with out-of-codeclothes, hair, or facial piercings. • Be unplugged! Technology:good.Cell phones in class: not good. This is your warning… HEARD OR SEEN WILL BE TAKEN UP • Be prepared! Bring all your English gear every day. • Be punctual!The door closes when they bell rings. No exceptions. • Be healthy! But save the food and drinks for later. • Stay seated unless instructed to get up and move around • Don’t mess with other people or their stuff (including mine!) • Cheating is serious business and won’t be tolerated • Swearing is another thing that is serious business to me and won’t be ignored! Don’t say anything in here you wouldn’t say in front of your grandma! (%^$# duh!)

  3. Results of YOU not CHOOSING to follow policies: • Warning • Last Out & Student/Teacher conference • Call home • Call home and detention hall • Referral to principal *Cell phones: no warnings. If seen or heard, it goes to the office. *Food or gum: goes in trash

  4. Procedures (how we do things) On the way in: • Get handouts from shelf on wall • Get textbooks if needed • Turn in homework BEFORE bell • Check makeup work folder if absent • Be in desk when bell rings or you are tardy

  5. Procedures (how we do things) When you sit down: • Copy day’s activity on Garfield calendar • Work on warm-up End: • Return books to shelf • Wait to be dismissed (can’t leave until everyone’s sitting down)

  6. Grading • Grading Categories: • Practice 30% • Application 30% • Evaluation 40% • Each six weeks, you will have at leastthree practice grades, three application grades, and two evaluation grades (probably more). Each assignment you are given, whether it will be counted toward your average or is just extra practice, is important and helps ensure you are learning the concept and can apply it later on.

  7. Extra Credit Each six weeks, opportunities will be given to do assignments for extra credit. Some options will be: • Outside reading • Memory work. Students will be told a specific number of lines of pose or poetry that they can memorize and recite to the teacher outside of class time. • Flashcards. On occasion, students will be told they can make flashcards from vocabulary words for extra credit on assignments.

  8. Late Work PAY ATTENTION! THIS IS NEW MIDWAY POLICY and IS NOT RIGHT ON YOUR HANDOUT!!!!! If an assignment is turned in late (even just ONE DAY), you will receive no higher than a 70. The grade just drops from there. *That means if you don’t get a perfect score on it, you cannot pass that assignment.* After three days, it becomes a ZERO.

  9. IMPORTANT INFO • My conference period is __1st__ • All of the English department has C lunch • My tutorial times are after school Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. I arrive at 7:40 a.m. • The URL to my teacher Web page is: http://www.midwayisd.org//Domain/154 USE IT!
