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.
