FAQFrequently Asked Questions: This page contains answers to common questions of students and parents.
What is my current grade in this class? Grades are posted online and can be accessed by visiting the LWC homepage. Grades are updated as assignments are graded by the teacher. Grades may not be updated daily because the class may not have assignments daily. Is there any extra credit I can do to help my grade? Ideally, completing all homework on time and studying for tests will help to maintain the grade you hope to earn. Extra credit is usually offered once a quarter and should be taken advantage of even if the student feels he or she does not need it at the time it is offered. AP Language students are not typically offered extra credit. Can I turn in any assignments late? AP Language students: NO English 3 Students: Students will be given one D.O.G. (Day of Grace) pass that they can use on certain assignments to turn them in one day late for credit with no penalty. DOG passes may not be used on certain assignments. What can I do if I need help in English? There are many options students have for extra help. The student's first step should be to see the teacher. Mrs. Yanule is more than willing to help students if they need it. See the "Teacher's Schedule" link for available times. Students may also take advantave of the Academic Assistance room that is available to all students during their advisory period. Students simply need to report straight to the academic assistance room for help rather than stopping at their advisory room. A teacher is available to help students attending academic assistance. Students can also access the Writing Center located in D124 for assistance with writing assignments. Students will receive assistance from an English teacher or a qualified student tutor in the Writing Center. Where can I purchase the novels needed for class? Students may obtain copies of the novels at the school bookstore located at the front of the building near the main office. Bookstore hours vary, so students should not wait until the last minute to purchase books. If students have a copy of a previously owned novel, it must be approved by the teacher for use. Students may also purchase novels at local bookstores. What role do the vocabulary books play in the curriculum? Students in English 3 are encouraged to complete the workbook. We will complete activities in class to prepare for quizzes; quizzes are typically given on Fridays. Students can also use online review games (see the "Links page") to help them prepare. First semester students will be given credit for completing the workbook and participating in class activities. AP Language students will study Word Wealth independently. Do students receive study guides? English 3 students are given study guides with most, but not all, novels. AP Language students may receive study guides, however, the annotating requirements should act as a guide for reading. What is the proper format for submitting assignments? Students should follow all guidelines included on the "Style Sheet" located in the LWC Academic Planner. This includes: providing a proper heading in the upper left-hand corner of the page, using loose-leaf paper, using blue or black ink pens rather than pencil, and writing on one side of the page only. See the "Style Sheet" for additional guidelines. What should I do if I don't have a computer/printer at home? Be sure to make arrangements with Mrs. Yanule well in advance and she will write you a pass to use the school library. You may also use the public library computers. Be sure to have a reliable way to save and print work, as assignments will not be accepted late because of "computer malfunctions." |
