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. Complete
each assignment, as they are assigned ~ keeping up with the assignments makes
it easy to complete each assignment on time.
If there is an issue ~ you 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.
