    THINKBOOKs and WRITING


    NOTEBOOKS

    Thinkbooks (ISNs): We will use our


    thinkbooks (interactive student notebooks)
    for all of our class notes, responses to
    literature, quickwrites, double entry journals,
    etc. These will be checked for a grade
    EVERY FRIDAY!

    NOTICE...

    TECHNOLOGY
    Stay up to date on HW
    assignments and activities
    by checking GOOGLE
    CALENDAR and/or our
    Google Classroom.

    Chromebooks
    We have have the
    privilege of having a
    chromebook cart. Please
    teat them well. Students
    who participate in
    inappropriate technology
    use (carving, peeling feet,
    off-task websites, etc) will
    receive consequences
    according to the severity
    of the misusage.

    Late work will be entered in POWERSCHOOL when I get to it. If our

    You are responsible for taking quality


    notes and participating authentically in
    each writing assignment. Your grade will
    suffer if you lack effort.

    ACCELERATED READER
    We get to have dedicated
    time each day at the
    beginning of class for
    independent reading.
    The ultimate goal of our
    independent reading time
    is to develop our personal
    tastes as readers as well as
    a life-long love for reading.
    In order to participate in
    reading, it is necessary to
    have your book with you
    each day. If you are not
    prepared with a book to read
    each day, it will be reflected
    in your AR grade for the
    semester.
    REMEMBER-AR counts for 10%
    of your overall grade!

    ABSENTEE POLICY

    Writing Notebooks: The only way to


    become better writers is to WRITE. You
    will use your writing notebook during our
    workshops. Here you will participate in
    writing activites, craft drafts, and engage in
    writing habits like the pros do.

    *

    Check our class google calendar to see what homework and classwork was missed
    Check the Since Youve Been Gone box for papers handed out when you were absent
    Ask a friend for notes

    After completing these steps, if you still have questions, please see me before or after
    class for help.
    You have ONE DAY for each day you are absent to make up missed work. After that
    day, any missing assignments will be accepted with a late penalty.
    Any assignment you are absent for will be entered as a ZERO until it is turned in.

    I, ________________________________________, have read and understand the rules and expectations for English 7. I acknowledge
    that it is my responsibility to contact my teacher if I have any questions or concerns. I know that this syllabus, assignments, calendars,
    and resources are available to me on Google Calendar and Google Classroom at any time.
