Failure to come prepared for class will result in a demerit penalty. In addition to these texts, we will be reading a number of short stories, essays, and poems. English Test Days are Tuesday and Thursday. All tests and due dates for major writing assignments will be on these days.
Homework is to be ready at the beginning of the class period on the day it is due.
Late homework will be accepted for partial credit, except in the case of excused absence, and then student may turn in assignment upon return to class for full credit. All students who are absent for a medical reason will be given one day for every day absent to make up a quiz or test. Homework may be left in my box in the office if I am not available. It is NOT the study hall proctor's job to chase you down to make sure you take a test or quiz. Students are allowed one week from the time the paper is returned to turn in a rewrite.
