Suggested Supplies
Please come to class prepared to actively participate in class. Class activities will include group discussions and tasks related to the homework, so be sure you stay current on all readings and other assignments. Students will be completing most readings as homework, so having a copy of the anchor text available at home or having a computer at home in order to access the online textbook is essential.
Although you will be turning in most of your work via Google Classroom, you are still responsible for maintaining copies of all the work you complete for this course. You can maintain either a digital or hard-copy portfolio. If you choose to use a hard-copy, you will need a three-ring binder. If you choose to keep a digital portfolio, it needs to be well organized and easily navigable. In short, you are are responsible for keeping your work in order and available until all final semester grades are in.
Grading Policy
The weighted categories for grading are:
Classroom Management and Discipline
Students will get two warnings for inappropriate behavior. On the third occurrence, the teacher will contact the parents or guardians to discuss possible solutions. If the behavior continues, the teacher will contact the counselor and principal and the student may face detention or other disciplinary action.
Plagiarism
If a student is found to have committed plagiarism, they will receive a 0 for the activity, and the teacher will contact the counselor and parents or guardians. The student may be given the opportunity to redo the work depending on the circumstances of the plagiarism (i.e., whether it appears intentional or unintentional, or whether it is a first offense.)
