Welcome to English 2!

Welcome back to another wonderful school year! I am so excited to have you in my English 1 class this year. We are going to be covering a lot together this year so let's start off with the basics! Attached below is the Syllabus to this course. However, in case you lost it here are the major things to remember this first week.

You are going to need to bring to class EVERY DAY:

1. 2 notebooks (Wake Up Warm Up & Reading/Writing)
2. 1 Binder or Folder to organize handouts and important class paperwork
3. Pens/Pencils
4. Whatever novel or text we are working on at that time

You will need to follow the school rules in the classroom as well as classroom rules. I try to keep my rules short and sweet. 

1. Come to class prepared
2. Turn in Homework on Time
1. This also means make sure your name, class period, and the date are at the top of your work. If work isn't labeled, I'm not going to bother grading it. 
3. Be respectful of others (Students and teachers)
1. Meaning don't talk when others are talking
2. Be understanding and respectful of different opinions
4. Keep your cell phones, iproducts, music, ereaders, and anything else that we aren't using at that time put away. There are times when I will let you use electronic devices in class as the year goes on. However, we aren't there yet.
5. DO NOT PACK UP BEFORE I GIVE THE ALL CLEAR. One of my biggest pet peeves is having to talk over everyone packing up. I promise to give you plenty of time to get where you need to go if you give me your full attention during my time. When I say "Let's get packed up." You are fee to put your stuff away. When I say "Have a great day," you are free to line up at the door and leave.

5 rules isn't really all that much, right?

I know we will have a great year and I can't wait to get to know each and every one of you!
