What do I do when I am absent?
When you return from your absence, retrieve your work from the folder in the
back of the room. Each folder contains from the previous day(s) and will be
up for one week. You have that time period to get your work and turn it in to
me. If there is nothing in the folder, then ask me!
What if I forgot my BHS handbook and need to use a hall pass?
You MUST have your BHS handbook in order to get a pass from me. If you do not
have your handbook, then you will NOT be able to get a pass from me.
If I don't do the Senior Project, can I still pass Senior English?
No. The point value of each component of the project equals such a value that
would make it mathematically impossible to pass. The Senior Project is the
culminating experience of your school career. It should showcase all that you
have learned.
Can I borrow a novel ot textbook if I forgot mine? What about if there is an open book quiz?
No. It is your responsibility to be prepared. You are about to enter a world
of greater responsibility, whether it be the workforce or college. You must
start taking responsibility for your own learning.
When are my assignments due?
Every assignment, no matter how big or small, is due within the first 3
minutes of your class period. That means there is no turning it in at the end
of the day or at the end of your class period.
What if I am absent or have a computer problem on a day an assignment is due?
If it is a small assignment, meaning you were given a day or two to complete
it, simply turn it in the next day. Anything beyond that is a 50% grade
deduction. IT IS A MAJOR ASSIGNMENT, something we have worked on for at least
one school week or ANY part of the Senior Project, IT WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED
AFTER IT IS DUE! Procrasination is an art, and if you are not good at it,
don't do it!!
