 You will need a literature book-I need to know your book number for all books borrowed throughout the year  Make sure your agenda, notebooks (for Board Work) and journals (for Daily Reading Response Journal) are labeled  Make sure you have a system for keeping all notes and handouts in place  NEVER hand in homework (or place it on my desk) unless it is all being collected  NEVER leave or touch anything on my desk without expressed consent form your teacher

Each student will be required to complete board work assignments in a separate notebook labeled “Board Work”. This notebook will be collected periodically and graded. In order to receive full credit the following guidelines should be followed :  You will be given 5 to 10 minutes to complete board work daily. It is essential that you come to class prepared and begin working immediately.  If absent YOU are responsible for writing the date you were absent in your folder along with the word “absent” so you can receive credit.  All work must be complete and legible in order to receive full credit (see syllabus)
