My hope is that students will generate papers about topics they themselves are interested in. Writing is a vehicle for self-expression, thus students are to express themselves, not merely what the teacher wants. The rules for class are few and simple. No student talks when the teacher is talking and conducting lessons. No student is out of their seat unless instructed by the teacher.
Students are to treat each other with respect at all times.
All assignments are to be done on time, with maximum effort. Behavior inappropriate for the classroom will result in detentions, which are to be served for one full hour after school. If problems persist, further action will be taken. You have any questions about anything we ve done, or are doing, in class. You miss class.
