Class rules
RULES IN ALBERT’S ENGLISH CLASS (FPB 1º)
General matters
* We start a nine-month long run and it is extremely important that we get on well, so we will have to come to an agreement (COMPROMISO EDUCATIVO) and we will have talk about the goals to achieve.
* It is still compulsory to come to school until you are 16 so remember that all of you have got the right to education, but that implies that you have the duty to respect your classmates and their right to education. You mustn’t be a nuisance or disturb our class dynamics. Any negative attitude or bad behaviour will be reported to your tutor and your parents. Every day you will have a mark for your behaviour and attitude.
* We will have 3 hours per week.
* We will have to decide if we want to have a textbook (you will have to buy it) or if we will work with photocopies. In this case you will have to agree to make the photocopies every time it is required.
* We will have to work with material that I will upload onto my site (ALBERTOMEDITUTOR).
* Availability of the teacher.
In class and class dynamics
* In order to learn your names, you should write them on a piece of paper and set them on your desk. I need all your personal data, so fill in this form at home. If you don’t do it, you will have to do it during a break.
* The classroom and especially the language department must be always clean (with no litter at all on the floor) and tidy. This is not my task or the cleaner’s task, it is everybody’s task.
* CHEWING GUM is not allowed in class!!!
* Time is Money, so you must wait for the teacher inside the classroom on your chairs and be ready to start. The only problem is that I will be coming from the other building and it will take me some time and I will have to leave as early as possible.
* Attendance to classes is COMPULSORY, so if you can’t come, you cand send me an email (albertomeditutor@gmail.com) or you will have to bring me a note from your parents or the doctor.
*Doing your homework everyday is essential to keep up with the class. I will give you a mark everyday for it. If you bring the photocopy, I will give you 4 points out of ten. If you have tried to do it and even if it is not correct, I will give you two extra points.
* Silence is essential if we want to take advantage of the teacher’s explanations or your classmates interventions in class. So if one day you don’t feel like participating in our class, you’d better fall sleep because I am not going to allow you to disturb your classmates or me.
* We will make an effort to learn some basic, but useful English. Basic situations < That’s English.
* You should keep your notebook or folder tidy and clean. There will be frequent controls. You will have a mark for it.
* You should hand in the projects we decide to make. We will try to carry out a digital project.
* Possibility of going to the Department of Modern Languages in the other building????
Class material
* Textbook or photocopies & site????
* You should have an email address for me to send you photocopies or any other information.
