How much homework can we expect?
For the most part, daily homework is to read 20 minutes.  From time 
to time, there will be a written response to literature that will 
need to be finished at home.

Is there a requirement for literature class?
Yes, each quarter every student reads at least 2 Accelerated Reader 
Books and successfully takes the tests. With my okay, a student may 
write a report or make a test if the book they're interested in is 
not on the AR list.

Are there extra credit opportunities?
Yes, any AR books above and beyond the 2 required books earn extra 
credit.  For each, another A is averaged in your Grade Point Average.

What kind of a teacher are you?
I love to teach and I love students.  I think that I'm firm, but 
friendly and fair.  Books and reading are one of my passions, and I 
hope that my enthusiasm is catching.  I like to have fun, and I hope 
that you'll have fun learning with me.
