Course Content:
Throughout this trimester we will be focusing on grammar usage, a fiction
writing assignment, fiction book project, and a non-fiction persuasive paper.
There will be daily homework, writing assignments, projects, reading
assignments, class discussions, and presentations. If you come to class, keep
up with your work, and work hard, you should be fine.

Grading Scale:
Your grade will be calculated from homework, papers, projects, tests,
quizzes, and participation.

100-94 = A 76-73= C
93-90= A- 72-70= C-
89-87= B+ 69-67= D+
86-83= B 66-63= D
82-80= B- 62-60= D-
79-77= C+ Below 60% =F

Materials Needed:
Notebook
Folder
Writing Utensil

Attendance/Tardies:
We will follow school policies regarding attendance and tardies. If you are
absent, it will be your responsibility to get the information and homework
you missed. I will keep strict records on tardies and absences so please do
not let this become a problem.

Late Work:
Assignments are due on the due date. Late work will be graded accordingly.
Papers and large projects not turned in by the due date will incur a 10%
deduction per day. Daily homework assignments will also have a deduction
of 10% when late. No late work will be accepted after the Friday before the
end of the trimester. In addition, any work assigned the first half of the
trimester will only be accepted up until the Friday before mid-trimester
grades are due. ***Please note: If you come to school late or leave
early and you are in the building, you are still expected to come see
me to turn homework in/pick up homework (and see what you will
be missing in class). Otherwise, your work will be counted as late.
***

Turn It In/Plagiarism:
All papers must be turned in to the turnitin.com website on or before the due
date of the paper for full credit. Papers not submitted to the website will
receive no credit. If any paper or project is plagiarized according to
turnitin.com, the grade will result in a zero. Please make sure to keep the
Turnitin.com class ID and password in your handbook or another accessible
place.

The Rule: Be respectful and responsible.
