Please e-mail me for clarity on assignments, to unlock assignments, or to check in if you are absent.
Students will always know in advance when assignments are due. Please keep track of important assignments. If there should ever be any confusion about assignments or due dates, please talk with me during class at an appropriate time. You may also check this website.
REMINDER!
How to access our classroom website:
Please go to Google and search for "Mrs. Benedetto's ELA Website" in the search engine like you would search for anything else you might look up on a regular basis. Once you are on the website, please look for the name and period of your class on the sidebar to the left. Once you see your course, please click onto that course and you will see your agendas with the most recent date at the very top.
It is going to be a phenomenal summer! Wishing each and every one of you the best of luck!
