Class Procedures for Speech (Revised 5.10.21)

1. Required Materials/Technology for Class

This is a paperless class. All work for the class will be completed and submitted electronically. You will need earbuds to listen to lectures. You need to have the following resources downloaded to your computer (should be done during onboarding):

Schoology

Schoology lockdown browser

PDF viewer

Outlook (to communicate with teacher)

Google Suite (Google Drive)

Google Chrome

Please let Ms. Walker know if you for some reason do not have some of these items!

2. Student Procedures for Class:

· How to Begin Working and Daily Tasks

1. Make sure you have the correct course code for the Schoology course you have been assigned. See Ms. Walker for course codes.

* NEVER log into or work on a course that you have not been assigned by one of your Community School teachers!

2. Log into Schoology daily.

3. Check your messages/notifications daily.

· Completing the Class

1. You must complete this class in order.

2. All assignments in Schoology, including notes, are mandatory.

3. Every student will begin by taking pre-tests to see if they can exempt out of part of the course. *Do NOT start the course materials before you have been given a chance to pre-test. If you do, you might lose your chance to be exempt out of some of the course. All pre-tests MUST be taken in class only.

4. You may use your notes on quizzes. These activities are unlocked and may be taken on your own time once you finish a section. You may only take a quiz one time, so review your answers before you submit them for grading.

· Tests/Projects/Speeches

Speech- Although you will have quizzes over each section, your “exams and final projects” will be in the form of a series of speeches you must write and present. You will find this information in your Schoology course.

3. How do I complete the course/get my report card?

· Once you have completed all required course work, Ms. Walker will complete your grades, submit a grade form to Mrs. Capra/Ms. Elliott, and email you a copy of the form. You do not have to turn anything in to them. They will then contact you to place you in your next class as needed.

4. How do I get in touch with Ms. Walker if I have questions?

· Please email me at kwalker@pasadenaisd.org between 8 AM and 4 PM with any questions you have. If you email after those times, please understand I will not respond until the next business day.
