Technology I plan on integrating technology in our class. Most of the websites I plan on incorporating can be accessed through smartphones. For example, Activelylearn.com (using google chrome), my weebly page, noredink.com, and turnitin.com. If you do not have access to the internet please let me know immediately so we can create a plan.

Expectation Always be ready to learn. Learning is not a spectator sport. I want you to have LOTS of chances to fail safely. Texting, tweeting, and other social media needs to wait until after class. You are here to learn. Be respectful of those around you. You are here to learn. I do not do well with rude comments and bad attitudes. We are partners in your education. Remember why you’re here, and I’ll remember why I am, too.

Daily Work You should check the board or Class PowerPoint every day (or the web page!). All assignments for that day will be listed. You should record your assignments each day. The method you use is up to you . All work is to be submitted to the basket on the counter unless otherwise stated . Your first and last name MUST be on your assignment. I cannot record a grade for an assignment that doesn’t have a name.

Make-up Work If you KNOW you’re going to be absent, please get assignments before leaving . The website is your friend . Please check the make-up binder and my web page for make-up work . Except under extenuating circumstances, you will have five days to make up any quizzes or tests you may have missed. An absence the class period(s) prior to a test is NOT an excuse to postpone the test. If you are in class on the day of the test, you WILL take the test.

Hall Passes It is imperative for you to be in class. Please take care of your personal business on your own time. (You will be counted tardy if you are not in the room when the clock in the hallway turns to show the time your class begins .) If you MUST leave class, please ask at appropriate times (During independent or group work). You must sign out by the door, and take the appropriate pass . You will only receive 3 passes out each nine weeks, AND only 3 people can leave per class period . Be wise about this usage.

Procedures Take care of needs before class begins (making sure you have paper, grabbing your composition notebook, sharpening your pencil ). If you have trash, wait until AFTER class to throw it away as you are leaving HW is due at the BEGINNING of class in the blue tray Do not speak while I am speaking When we have guests, be respectful
