Course Throughlines
COURSE THROUGHLINES
• How do characters/people make choices when faced with conflicting loyalties?
• How can different reading, writing, speaking, and listening experiences help me to
  understand more about my identity – both who I am and who I want to become?
• How can asking more and better questions and developing close-reading skills help
  me understand and connect to the works I read?
• How do I develop my writing as needed by planning, revising, editing, and rewriting?
• How can revising help me write pieces that communicate what I really think, feel,
  and mean?
• How can I contribute to the learning of the group, and how can the group contribute
  to my individual learning?
• How can constructing and maintaining a portfolio help me document my evolving
  skills and identity as a reader, writer, learner, and person?
Honors Option

  opportunity to earn Honors credit by the end of
  the year. Students who elect to complete Honors
  Option requirements will complete Honors-level

  work does not need to be made until the end of
  the first quarter.

• In general, homework assignments are worth 10. If students earn a
  check minus (6), they may redo the assignment for more credit.

• Late Homework can only be turned in with a Late Homework Pass.
  However, students should discuss extenuating circumstances with
  the teacher regarding extensions & late work

• Rubrics are given for essays and projects.

• Rewrite: This grade is given if the assignment is not of the quality
  where it can be graded, or was misunderstood. An “R” means the
  student has ONE WEEK to rewrite the assignment, and receive a
  grade for it. After one week, the “R” is changed to a 50%.

• Edline is an online course supplement used by
  many teachers for students (and parents) to get
  course documents, check assignments and
  deadlines, and communicate with the teacher.
Class Homework Twitter Feed
• To help ensure that students are reminded of homework
  assignments and any class updates. The class runs a
  twitter that posts regular homework and quiz reminders,
  as well as any important updates that you might need.

     The feeds for each class are as follows:

     College Prep English 9: @CPEnglish9
     Honors English 9: @HNEnglish9
What can I do to support my student?

• Allow them time and a quiet space to work
• Check in periodically about assignments
• Keep an eye out for anxiety or frustration with
  workload
• Provide tips or help in organization
I look forward to working with you and your
  children this semester.
