Welcome to the first week of the Spring Semester!
You all have an A
~keep it ~ complete each assignment, as they are assigned ~ keeping up with the
assignments makes it easy to complete each assignments on time.
MY GOAL IS TO
HAVE ALL STUDENTS EARN AN A IN MY CLASS!
All Students in All Classes
❈ All students are
encouraged to turn in their assignments on time, for full credit. If
there is an issue ~ they may turn in work late and receive a passing grade
“C” on the assignment. The student will need to bring it to me ~
since I won't ask for it.
THIS IS
CRITICAL
~ Quality of your work counts for the grade you
earn. You need to have deep rich explanation (claim) and use quotes
(evidence) with lots of details and information to support your claim.
You also need to use your own words (If you use a “quote” (cut and paste), use
quote marks and cite the author and where you found the information. * Plus ~ no first person when
writing your answers.
* Also remember to put your full name and period at
the top right corner, use blue or black ink pen and cursive writing.
