ENGLISH 306
ASSESSMENT:
You will be graded according to your performance in the following competencies:
1) Talk (comprehension questions, monologue, class discussion, debates etc.)
2) Reading (comprehension of written and visual materials.)
3) Production (essays, projects, multimedia productions.)
Meeting deadlines is important. Late assignments will only be accepted one school day after the due date at a penalty of 10%. For incomplete work after the one-day penalty students will be assigned a detention to complete work. If a student is absent, it is their responsibility to find out what, if any work was missed and to catch up. Students are required to see the teacher for missed work on the next school day.
Performance expectations:
I have high expectations for myself and for you. I will not accept work that is messy or done in a haphazard way. Take pride in the work that you do and strive for excellence. The formation of good work and study habits will not only help you now but will pay off down the road as well.
Class Rules
I expect students to be on time and bring all materials in order to work. Students should eat and go to the washroom before class to minimize disruptions. Everyone’s ideas and opinions are valued and students should be respectful of others at all times.
