English I.L2
  • Limitations are most often self imposed
  • William James put it this way
  • People, generally, become what they think of
    themselves
  • Winners and Losers are really self determined
  • Only the winners will admit to this

9th grade English I.L2PROCEDURES
  •  Arrive On Time  Some of the most fascinating
    and intelligent people I know aren't very prompt.
    I expect you to be on time. See student
    handbook expect detentions.

10
9th grade English I.L2PROCEDURES
  •  Attendance  Mandatory you cant learn if
    youre not here.  Makeup work can snowball and
    bury you.

11
9th grade English I.L2PROCEDURES
  •  Behavior  The Golden Rule.  You are mature
    young adults and I expect you to act as such. 
    Mutual respect - no foul language raise your
    hand, dont interrupt, dont criticize others,
    etc

12
9th grade English I.L2PROCEDURES
  • Preparedness  I expect you to come to class
    ready to learn.  Dont ask me to go to lockers
    for pen/pencil, books, etc BE PREPARED.  You
    always need a textbook, your binder, and a
    pen/pencil.

13
9th grade English I.L2PROCEDURES
  • Involvement  If you are bored and falling
    asleep, it probably means you are sitting there
    doing nothing.  When you are tired, the best
    thing to do is GET POSITIVELY ACTIVE.  To get the
    most out of something, you must involve yourself
    with it.  Therefore, I expect you to participate
    in class.  I dont expect you to always be
    right, but I do expect you to try.  Being
    involved doesnt only mean raising your hand
    and answering questions (although that is very
    important) it also means active note-taking.  I
    definitely expect this.

14
9th grade English I.L2PROCEDURES
  • Commitment  I expect you to do your best on all
    assignments.  This means being committed to
    trying your best, completing work on time, and
    avoiding procrastination.  I assign the work
    because it enhances the learning it means
    something at that point in the lesson.  The
    longer you procrastinate an assignment, the
    farther it moves from its intended meaning.  When
    someone comes to me with pencil and paper in hand
    at the end of the marking period and says, What
    do I owe you? those assignment are no longer
    about learning theyre merely about points. 
    Please dont do that.

15
9th grade English I.L2PROCEDURES
  • Materials needed  Each student must have a
    binder containing paper designating separate
    sections for class notes, a reading/writing
    journal, and a folder for graded work.  Students
    should always bring this with them to class along
    with a textbook and a pen/pencil.

16
9th grade English I.L2PROCEDURES Plagiarism and
Cheating
According to Dictionary. COM, plagiarism is a
piece of writing that has been copied from
someone else and is presented as being your own
work and taking someones words or ideas as if
they were your own. Plagiarism is a crime and
will not be tolerated. Therefore, if a student
is found guilty of plagiarism he or she will
receive a zero for the assignment and a
disciplinary referral a record of the offence
will be kept on record in the guidance office.
Students caught cheating will receive a zero for
the assignment and a disciplinary referral. Work
involved in either incident cannot be made up.
17
9th grade English I.L2PROCEDURES Plagiarism and
Cheating
If a student attempts to pass off another
students homework as his/her own, both students
are in violation of the academic integrity
policy. The students will both receive a zero on
the assignment and will be written
up. Turnitin.com In the beginning of the year,
we will set up Turnitin.com accounts. This
program scans documents submitted and identifies
any similarities between the students documents
and the entire internet, including the
Turnitin.com database. Students will be
required to submit most of their written work to
this program. Though the program does help to
detect plagiarism and cheating, it also helps
students to recognize their strengths and
weaknesses in paraphrasing and quoting.

23
9th grade English I.L2 Grades A Closing
Thought
  • Each assignment is weighted on a point scale
    based on the amount of work and thought
    required.  What concerns me is when students
    submit work late. In an effort to alleviate this,
    I will penalize 10 points for every day an
    assignment is late. This also serves as a reward
    for those who are consistently prompt.  Also,
    expect makeup tests and quizzes if you are absent
    on the day of an evaluation
  • (I wouldn't choose this option).
