If you were absent, the story and worksheet are in the pick up bin at the round table.

You need to be sitting in your assigned seats (where you are now) so that the sub can take attendance. You will need to turn in your homework at the beginning of class and your KWL at the end of class. No turning your homework in at the middle or end. There is absolutely no use of cell phones, especially during channel one time. You need to watch channel 1. You may only leave the room if you have your handbook and one of the passes I gave you the first day of school. Also, no talking during the movie. The sub has the right to issue detentions, take phones, and write down names. Which means when I get back you will be on the step process.

If you have a D or an F, you need to have your progress report signed by a parent/guardian and returned for Friday. I have the names of the students I am expecting signatures from.
