Week of 11/16
T2 (yea!)
11/17 - We will review work completed during asynchronous learning. We will also begin Unit 6 set A in our vocabulary books.
This week's focus: As we continue reading Dragonwings, students will continue to strengthen their understanding of dynamic vs. static characters, character relationships, and historical settings.
Nonfiction Friday: All ELA teachers have introduced Nonfiction Friday. Each Friday, students will engage with a new nonfiction text to strengthen their ability to comprehend, analyze, and interpret informational literature.
ELA late work policy:
Beginning this week, all English Language Arts teachers will implement a standardized late work policy designed to promote responsibility and time management skills essential for academic success.
Homework and Practice Assignments
Students who fail to submit homework or practice assignments will receive a zero with no opportunity for makeup credit. This policy encourages consistent daily engagement with course material.
Late submissions will be accepted within one calendar week of the original due date for a maximum of 50% credit. Students receive an "Unprepared for Class" slip documenting the final submission deadline. Work submitted after this date will receive a grade of zero. Students must notify teachers via email when submitting late work—Google Classroom messages do not fulfill this requirement.
Missed quizzes and tests due to absence must be completed upon return or within one week for extended absences. It is the student’s responsibility to schedule makeup assessments.
