LPA Policies
No gum or food in class.
No cell phones in class.
Students must be in full uniform.
No profanity.
Once class begins, students are
not permitted to leave the room for
any reason (aside from the RARE
emergency).
Quarter book talks on your S.S.R. reading will
count for the equivalent of a major test. To
receive the full 100 points, you must
successfully report on 250 pages per quarter.
Reading will take place regularly in class, but
students will need to read outside of class
time to meet the 250-page goal.
Be prepared to answer specific, detailed
questions about your book.
Your book talk will be scheduled toward the
end of the quarter. I will announce deadlines
in class.
Book Talks
Absences
You are responsible for completing any work assigned
while you were absent.
You should refer to the weekly agenda posted in the
room to determine what was done or due while you
were absent.
You are given the total number of days that you missed
to complete work for full credit.
If you miss a quiz or a test, you have two weeks to
make up the quiz or test.
Procedures
Arrive ON TIME. If the door is closed, you are late. You must go get a pass.
Turn in homework to the appropriate drawer.
Begin working on the days DO NOW activity in your notebook.
The last five minutes of class will be used for Poetry 180. We will hear one
new poem, each day.
Before you leave, make sure you have turned in classwork.
Make sure that your desk and the surrounding area is clean and free of any
trash.
