Routines & Lesson Plans• Class will always begin with a “class

starter” to develop writing and divergent thinking

• This course will be mainly project-based.– (YAY!)

• Vocabulary card sets will be due with each project. Review them often!

• A big part of your grade depends on your ability to reflect on your participation and learning growth at the end of the day and after each project.

Extra info

Attention…get some

Homework• Designed to prepare students for class assignments and/or extend

learning beyond the classroom.

• Students should expect some out-of-class work in the form of larger projects or assignments to assess skills and knowledge over long-range time period. In addition, much of your reading will be done OUTSIDE of class.

• Not completing homework affects your participation and reflection grade.

New Life Policy

Just like in a video-game, if you turn your assignments in complete and on time and don’t like your grade, you are allowed to “try again” and improve. (Not true for exams or quizzes.)

Late Work• Students must turn in a “Missing

Work Log” in lieu of the assignment.

• 10% of points deducted for each day late. Over 3 days = NO

• Late work cancels New Life Policy

Make-up Work• Responsibility of the student to check website & contact a

friend when absent.

• Work should be made up within one day for each class day missed.

If you are sick (with a doctor’s note!) and miss an exam, you will be asked to write an in-class essay to make it up.

But really, just remember to…

and you’ll be just fine
