Mr. Frost outlines several classroom procedures and policies in 11 points. Students should not bring unnecessary items to class and will receive music from the teacher. Tardiness will follow the handbook policy. Extra credit can be earned for bringing tissues. Students must bring required materials for class like books and writing utensils. Homework will be limited but required if assignments are unfinished. Passes may be taken without asking at appropriate times. Late work must be submitted by the computer and may not be graded until later. Participation points are earned through on-task behavior, listening, assignments, discussion, cleanliness, and current events. Writing assignments will vary in topic. Project guidelines focus on group work, use of class time, and

1. Mr. Frost’s Procedures
1. Don’t Bring List
- No backpacks. No MP3 players, cell phones, cards, or games in sight. I will provide
music, whether you like it or not.
2. Tardy Policy- as outlined in the handbook.
3. Extra Credit
- Anyone who brings a box of Kleenex will receive 3 extra credit points.
4. Materials
- Bring your book.
- Bring something to write with.
- Bring something to write on.
5. Homework
- I rarely assign homework. There are two exceptions to this: if you do not finish your
assignment because you were not on task, and if we have a project assignment there will
need to be work done outside of class.
6. Passes
- I will not institute a pass policy unless it becomes necessary. I feel you are old enough to
decide when you need to leave the room. However, you must ASK me at an appropriate
time. We will take breaks as a class sometimes as well.
7. Late Work
- All late work must be turned in to the basket by my computer and may not be graded until
the end of the grade period is near.
- If you miss class for any reason you are responsible for getting what you missed. Come
talk to me at an appropriate time.
8. Participation Points
- Each quarter you will start with 100 participation points, you will keep these points by
doing the following:
1. staying on task during work time.
2. listening when I am speaking.
3. finishing daily writing assignments.
4. actively participating in class discussion.
5. keeping your area clean.
6. actively participating in current events on Wednesday.
9. Writing Assignments
- We will have writing assignments that do not come from the book sometimes. These will
vary from reading short quotes to excerpts from authors about a variety of issues and
writing about them. I will ask for well thought out and meaningful responses. As my
idea of well thought out and meaningful may differ from yours, I will make my
expectations more clear when the time comes.
10. Project Guidelines
- Although the specific requirements will vary from project to project there are a few
things that I will be paying attention to in all assigned projects.
1. group participation.
2. use of class time.
3. attention to detail.

2. 11. Be good to people and you and I will get along very well.
