Ms. Koskinen
What will this course cover?
This course will be broken down into five units:
1. Grammar/Major Errors/Writing grant review
2. The Tragedy of Julius Caesar
3. Poetry
4. Animal Farm
*Each novel will include a reading, writing, and speaking/listening component. If you are uncomfortable with any novel we read, we’ll find an alternative selection.
What do I bring to class?
1. Notebook (used exclusively for this class )
2. Folder (used exclusively for this class)
3. Pencil/Pen
4. Planner
Attendance:
Be here in a timely fashion and be prepared. If you aren’t, your grade suffers.
Excused absences:
It is YOUR responsibility to talk to me about what you missed and if you are allowed to make it up.
Unexcused absences:
You will receive a zero for the day’s assignment. You cannot make it up.
Late work:
Points will be deducted for each day it is late.
All major assignments must be turned in to pass the course. Students who are missing a major assignment after 1st quarter will receive a NC (no credit). Students who do not complete all required work will receive an F at the end of the 2nd quarter. No work can be made up after the completion of 2nd quarter.
Plagiarized essays will receive a zero but the assignment must be resubmitted to my satisfaction in order to pass the course. Cheating on tests or assignments will result in a zero with no chance to retake the test.
