Welcome to CP English 9!

This course is designed to prepare students with the reading, writing, research, and communication skills necessary for success at a four-year university or private college.  Students enrolling in this course should have mastered basic competencies in reading, grammar, and written expression, and demonstrate the attitudes and work habits of a student preparing to go to college. (From the LHS Program of Studies)

We will be striving for EXCELLENCE. Be prepared to work and study hard. This course is designed to prepare you for college, so your attitude and work habits are expected to be similar to that of a college student.

Grading Policies

• All grades will be entered into PowerSchool.

• Formative assessments: These will NOT count for or against students, but I will enter some into PowerSchool. These include NoRedInk grammar assignments and other short assignments that help students learn/help me to see where they are.

• Summative assessments: These show student achievement of the content standards. These include some bell ringers, tests, project, quizzes, and writing assignments.

• Some types of assignments can be considered formative or summative, depending on when they are assigned. These include homework, bell ringers, discussions, and online tools assignments (FlipGrid, Padlet, and Newsela, for example). 

• Redos/Retakes: 

  • I do not allow retakes on tests or quizzes (exception: you CAN redo a NoRedInk quiz if you completed the practice by the due date, which is right before the quiz).

  • I do not allow redos on minor assignments.

  • Please ask about redoing a project or essay. You will be assigned English Lab (required) and will have a final due date.

  • You will be required to redo an essay with a failing grade. You will be assigned English Lab (required) and will have a final due date.

  • You will only be allowed to redo an assignment if you turned it in by the final due date.
