English I
What do I need to know about homework?
Every Monday English I students will receive a Vocabulary Packet. These packets are due on Friday. I do NOT accept these packets late unless the student has an excused absence, in which case the packet is due upon the student's return. Students will be tested over the vocabulary words on all packets each week.Back to Top

Other Homework?
Students will usually have a project to be working on. I give handouts, oral instructions, and visual examples of all projects. Students have ample time to complete projects; therefore, grading will reflect time and effort. Projects count in the 50% category of my grade scale.Back to Top

Vocabulary Folders
Students keep a prong type folder and they are to hand write all vocabulary words and definitions and keep these in a folder. After every 50 words, I grade the folders. Folders go in the project category of my grade scale. Every 5 weeks students have a review test over all previous words and the folder is the primary source of study for the semester exam.Back to Top

What if student misses a day
It is the student's responsibility to ask for all make up work. I follow the Roane County Schools make up work policy which you can find in the student handbook. All tests must by made up after school, not during class time.Back to Top

Late work?
Some work I do not accept late: Vocabulary packets or class work. Projects and Vocabulary Folders will receive a 10 point per day late penalty, including weekends. AP classes have a different late work policy which is written in my AP class syllabi.Back to Top
