Wednesday, November 12.... Hamlet finale....comparison of the theatrical interpretations "Room" vocab

Second marking period
re anchoring: 
            Expectations: arrive on time. If you are late, sign the tardy book. New term, so we'll restart. Three tardies gets you a lunch detention, 4 tardies gets you an after school detention and five gets you Saturday school. If you do not show up for lunch detention, you will automatically receive a phone call home and Saturday detention. PLEASE BE ON TIME.
         As always, there are no cell phones and no warnings. Phone out= Saturday detention. No charging phones either.
 Absenteeism: when you are absent, you must check the blog- yes, the blog. This has all your information, including copies of handouts and any links used in class. The world continues whether you show up to class, and you are responsible for the work. If you do not have a computer at home, get a pass for the library or quickly check before school. This is part of the class responsibility. This is a fundamental skill that you need to survive in this technologically oriented world. 
   Questions about an assignment and you can't make time during the day? Send me an e-mail. It's on the school web page, which incidentally has a link to the blog. 
As always, respecting the learning environment  for everyone is our priority.
