Dear Students,
Welcome to 10th grade English. I’m excited about the opportunity to get to know you, and I’m looking forward to a happy and productive school year. This year we will focus on reading 20th century American authors such as Ray Bradbury, Ernest Hemingway, and John Steinbeck, in addition to exploring a wide variety of writing styles.
Please bring the following supplies to school before September 5th:
(1) Three-ring binder
(2) Ink pens – black or blue only
(2) No. 2 pencils or mechanical pencils
(1) Pack of loose leaf ruled paper
(1) Composition book
Homework in this class is intended to practice skills already introduced in class, to prepare students for the next day's class, to elaborate on ideas introduced in class, or to review material so students have information at hand for tests, quizzes or other activities.
All class assignments, including scoring guides and due dates, will be posted on the bulletin board in the back of the classroom. Assignments will be considered late if not turned in by the beginning of the class period or if not excused by a parent/doctor. Late assignments receive 10% off the total for each day late.
Work in this course is graded according to criteria that students have access to before the actual completion of their assignments. Class time and discussion is devoted to determining elements of successful as well as unsuccessful assignments, so all students have the opportunity to understand what constitutes excellent work, good work, passing work, and work that is not yet acceptable.
Upcoming school events you should be aware of include open house, parent-teacher conferences, book sale, and school carnival. Please mark those dates on your calendar and invite your families to attend.
Once again, welcome to 10th grade English. Let’s work together to make this the best year ever!
Sincerely,
Ms. Hise
