Grades are based on completing the required writing and reading assignments as well as any tests and quizzes.
In general, I allow work to be handed in late up to a week past the due date. Late work will be penalized 10% per assignment. Obviously, turning work in on time is important in that is teaches responsiblity and time management.
Students who are absent from school will have two days to complete any work missed without penalty.
Students will be expected to read at home. Make time in your schedule to ensure that this is being done. Twenty minutes per night is the average amount of time expected for reading at home. Often students spend their evening hours on Facebook, video games or TV. I would suggest these activities take place AFTER twenty minutes of reading has taken place.
