Welcome back, Mavericks!Ms. McKinneyEnglish1/7/2013
New Journals and NotebooksWho remembered to bring two spirals after the break?
First Spiral: Your New Journal
Your New Journal•Our journal procedure will be the same this
semester as last semester. This means that each day, when you come into the classroom, you should begin working on your journal.
•The journal prompt will be written on the magnet board each day.
•This spiral will not leave the classroom, and should only be used for your journal entries. Because you are providing this spiral, you may take it home at the end of the school year.
Journal Prompts•Please remember to submit journal
prompts that you would like to write about!
•Try to make them original, no one likes writing about the same thing every day.
•They don’t have to be serious, but they do have to be school appropriate!
Second Spiral: Your English Notebook
What will they include?•Spelling Words•Vocabulary for each unit•Key Understandings for each unit•All notes taken in class•Some in-class assignments
You must bring them EVERY DAY!•If you forget, you will be expected to write
the day’s notes on a separate sheet of paper, then copy it into your English notebook at home. You will not be given class time to make up these notes.
How will they be graded?•I will do random checks to see that you
have your notebook in class, and that you are keeping up with the class notes.
•This will be either a quiz grade and/or a bottle ticket opportunity.
What if you are absent?•You are responsible for getting all class
notes that you missed from a classmate. •All makeup notes must be copied by hand
into your English notebook. You may not staple, tape, or otherwise adhere copied sheets into your notebook.
