*Please note that these instructions only apply to assignments not turned in through Google Classroom.
Here (see below) are step-by-step instructions for students to use when submitting work electronically via Google Drive. Students who have questions about these procedures should e-mail Mr. Fromme at dfromme@hoover.k12.al.us to make sure they are submitting work correctly. It is the student's responsibility to ensure that they have submitted work according to the procedures outlined below.

We'll be doing a lot (if not almost all) of our work this year using Google documents/apps and Google Drive. Any work you do for my class should be placed/kept in a shared folder (see details below), and almost all of it will also need to be "turned in" electronically by a specific date. The instructions below (coupled with in-class training on this topic) should guide you through the proper steps to make sure Mr. Fromme has access to your work. Please be aware that emailing or sharing a document with Mr. Fromme or just having it in your class folder does not constitute turning in that assignment unless previously cleared with Mr. Fromme.
1. For starters, students should create a folder in their Google Drive with their last name, a comma, their first name, Mr. Fromme's last name, and then the text "English 12 folder") and then the year-range for whatever school year applies. That sounds complicated, but I promise it's easy. So, for example, a student named John Doe who is in Mr. Fromme's class in the 2022-2023 school year would name his folder as follows: Doe, John Fromme English 12 folder 2022-2023.
(Students need only to do this step once, not every time they turn something in.)
2. (Like Step 1, students have to do this next step only once, not every time they turn in something.) Once the folder is created in Step 1, John Doe now must share the folder with Mr. Fromme (and give him editing rights in the process). The steps below will outline how to accomplish that. Note: Once Mr. Fromme has been given editing rights to the folder, he will be able to view and edit any document that placed in the folder (which is what allows him to make comments and give grades and whatnot). Students should use this folder ONLY to hold work that is intended for Mr. Fromme to view. THIS IS NOT A FOLDER STUDENTS SHOULD USE TO STORE PERSONAL ITEMS/DOCUMENTS. It is intended only for official English 12 class documents. Follow these steps to share the folder correctly:
Find the folder to be shared in the navigation bar down the left side of the screen when you're looking at your Google Drive page.
Right-click on the name of the folder.
Find and select "share" in the drop-down menu that pops up.
A box will pop up in the middle of the screen, and in the middle of that box will be a space that can be used to add names or e-mail addresses of people with whom the folder should be shared.
Type Mr. Fromme's e-mail address (dfromme@hoover.k12.al.us) into the box mentioned in the step above.
Make sure that the small box to the right of the area where you're typing in Mr. Fromme's address reads "Can edit."
Make sure the "notify people via e-mail" box is checked.
Now click the blue "Send" button below where Mr. Fromme's e-mail address has been entered.
3. Any time a specific assignment needs to be "turned in" to Mr. Fromme, students should follow these steps:
Make sure that the document in question is in the student's properly-shared English 12 folder (see the first two items on this page).
Go to the Assignments page of this site and find the assignment in question.
Locate the Turn-in form link for the assignment in question (this should be directly under the name of the assignment) and click on it.
Fill out the form with your name and the link to your document for this assignment. To get the link, follow the following steps: 1) While looking at your document, click the blue "share" button in the top right corner of the screen. 2) In the box that pops up, look closely (it's pretty tiny) for the word "Advanced" in the bottom right-hand corner. Click on it. 3) Check to see that "Denton Fromme" has editing rights to the document you're attempting to turn in. 4) Copy that link (which should already be highlighted in blue near the top of the pop-up box), and paste it into the Turn-in form when it asks for the link to the document you're turning in.
Check the box that says "send me a copy of my responses" so that you'll have a record that you've turned the assignment in. (You'll receive an e-mail about your submission.)
A record will be made of the date and time when you submitted your work. You are free to, should need be, make changes to the document between the time when you turn it in and when Mr. Fromme grades it, and there's no need to resubmit your work if you do that (as the changes will be present when Mr. Fromme accesses your work).
A few things to remember about turning things in electronically:
A few things to remember about turning things in electronically:
1. THE DOCUMENT YOU'RE TURNING IN MUST, MUST, MUST BE IN YOUR ENGLISH 12 FOLDER OR MR. FROMME WON'T HAVE ACCESS TO IT, AND YOU'LL LOSE POINTS FOR NOT TURNING IT IN PROPERLY ON TIME.

2. You only need to turn an assignment in once. Let's say you turn an assignment in and then (before Mr. Fromme grades it) you realize you need to make a quick change to it. When you make the changes to your document, they'll automatically show up when Mr. Fromme checks the link you turned in. You don't need to resubmit your work just because you made a few changes after filling out the turn-in form.

3. Turn-in forms are specific to particular assignments. You can't just use any old turn-in form you find on the site to turn in any old assignment. Always check to make sure you're using the turn-in form that goes with the assignment you're trying to turn in.

4. You lose 10% of your grade for every day after a due date that your work is either not turned in or not turned in correctly, so always be careful to make sure you're putting your work in your English 12 folder and then filling out the correct turn-in form.
