Students will be assigned homework on a nightly basis. Homework does reflect
in their grades.
Students will be doing "Everyday Edits". They are given a paragraph with ten
grammatical errors in it. Students are then to find the errors and fix them.
This is homework every night. I do not always check the homework on a daily
basis, but it should be done in case I do. They will lose points if it is
checked and not completed.
PARENTS:
Ask to see their Every Day Edit calendars. Students were given a calendar for
each month of the school year on September 8th: The calendar states the topic
of the paragraph. More is explained in their syllabus which should be in the
beginning of their binders. Please refer to it for further questions.
Additional Homework
On-going Current Novel Work: White Fang by Jack London
Students were given a schedule of due dates at the beginning of the marking
period, therefore, it should be in their binder. The schedule is also written
on the board.
Additional Points:
