Mrs. Hagy’s

You will need a literature book-I need to know your book number for all books borrowed throughout the year

Make sure your agenda, notebooks (for Board Work) and journals (for Daily Reading Response Journal) are labeled

Make sure you have a system for keeping all notes and handouts in place

NEVER hand in homework (or place it on my desk) unless it is all being collected

NEVER leave or touch anything on my desk without expressed consent form your teacher

Each student will be required to complete board work assignments in a separate notebook labeled “Board Work”. This notebook will be collected periodically and graded. In order to receive full credit the following guidelines should be followed:You will be given 5 to 10 minutes to complete board work daily. It is essential that you come to class prepared and begin working immediately.If absent YOU are responsible for writing the date you were absent in your folder along with the word “absent” so you can receive credit.All work must be complete and legible in order to receive full credit (see syllabus)

You are required to fill out your Daily Reading Response Journal every night, I will collect it (or certain pages) on Thursdays

Word within the Word will be collected once per week. I will inform you as to how to complete it and when it is due

Let’s look at the syllabus for this class…
