In this course, students will read, clarify, summarize, and question a variety of literature including short stories, novels, poetry, and informational texts. Students will also respond to the literature they read through class discussion and the writing of creative, descriptive, and research-based essays. I hope that as a result of this class, students will grow in their faith and develop a love for literature and strengthen their communication skills to benefit them for the rest of their lives. *Plans are subject to change.

Include the traits of good writing into their own writing. Develop quality writing by generating key word outlines and incorporating dress-ups and sentence openers as outlined in the Excellence in Writing curriculum. Use effective transitional patterns in organized writing. Use the research process and multiple sources to gather and summarize information about a topic of their choice. Dramatize and evaluate works of literature in groups (readers theater, poetry, and discussion-debate). Compare and contrast, predict, infer, summarize, interpret, clarify, organize, analyze, judge, and evaluate when reading. Identify and interpret figurative language. Use proper grammar skills through instruction and writing practice. Increase vocabulary by completing units in Sadliers Vocabulary Workshop workbook. Grading Policy Grades will be weighted and will reflect the following division: 30%-Tests/Quizzes 15%-Outside Reading Requirements 25%- Daily Work/Assignments 25%-Projects 5%- Participation (Student/Teacher Evaluation) Late Work May Fall Under the Following Penalties: Projects-10% will be taken off for each day late down to 50% (that is, if the assignment meets requirements) Daily assignments-immediately dropped to 50% if late (daily assignments are pertinent to what we do each day in class) *If an assignment is not turned in by the end of the quarter, it will automatically become a zero in the gradebook. Students will receive three passports for late work each quarter to receive full credit on a missing or late assignment Depending on the situation, the teacher reserves the right to refuse late work. Students must notify the teacher in advance if work is going to be late in order to make proper arrangements.     $9QR^_`atu+ , - A I b z ̴~v~oh^VODh,^hJOJQJ h,^hJh,^h%>*h%CJOJQJ hvhv hphvhphpH* hphph,^h%>*CJOJQJaJh,^hv>*CJOJQJaJh,^h|(CJOJQJaJhvCJOJQJaJhJ0JCJ$OJQJh%CJ$OJQJhJhJCJ$H*OJQJhJCJ$OJQJ"jhJUmHnHsHtHu$9R_`au, - A I  D R  & F h^`gdPD & FgdYh & F h^` & F h^`gdJ$a$gdJ$a$z |    C D Q R X x ȽޣӐӅ~sle]V h,^hdh,^h%>* h,^h[ h,^h~!h,^hYhOJQJ h,^hYhh,^h%OJQJh,^h%>*OJQJ hVhV hV6hVh%>*OJQJhV6OJQJh,^hJOJQJh,^h%OJQJ h,^h%h& h,^hJh,^hJ>*OJQJ hTo hVhVOJQJ  5 O Cs<N & F h^` & F h^`gdWP & Fgdb & F h^`gdb & F h^` & F h^`   5 N O f n  BCDrs<Wfxy繮磟|uuun hph,^ h,^hWPh,^h%CJOJQJh,^hyOJQJhyhyOJQJhyhyh%OJQJh,^h+(OJQJh,^hbOJQJ h,^hb h,^hvh%CJOJQJh,^h%OJQJ h,^h%h,^huHOJQJ h,^huH'N{5 ~`#$3tu$a$gd8 & F h^`gd 1 & F h^`gd 1 h^hgd 1 & F h^`gd0 & F h^`45  HIR|}~!4EQ_`!"#$տտոտոժոժժտտգ՛Օ h%CJhC=0h 1CJOJQJ hKCJh,^h 16 h,^hK h,^hHY h,^hf h,^hZ`h,^h 1OJQJh,^h 1OJQJ h,^h 1 h,^hyQ] h,^hM`h 1h 1CJh 1h 1CJOJQJ-$123StuvxyôÀufWÌKÌh%CJOJQJaJhyhyCJOJQJaJh,^h%CJOJQJaJh{,QhyCJaJh'CJOJQJaJh{,QCJOJQJaJh{,QCJaJhyhy5CJaJhyCJaJh,^hD9CJOJQJaJhyCJOJQJaJ h%CJ h,^h I4hT h%>*CJhh%>*CJhh%>*CJOJQJu19:lmRSBCD   ^gd,^gd,^gdy & Fgd,^ & FgddEj/013489:klmvxySTBCüzodYNYoYFFh,^OJQJh,^h|OJQJh,^hM`OJQJh,^h%OJQJh,^hNsOJQJh,^hWPOJQJh,^hOJQJhyOJQJhdEjhN>*CJOJQJh,^>*CJOJQJhP>*CJOJQJ h,^hNhOp h,^h,^h,^ h,^hOph,^hyCJOJQJaJh{,QCJOJQJaJhGCJOJQJaJCD   h%hJhhS2jhhS2Uh,^hOJQJhN}OJQJh,^hk>nOJQJh,^h,^OJQJ (/ =!"#$% s    2 0@P`p2( 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p8XV~ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@_HmH nH sH tH N`N Normal%B*CJPJ_HaJmH phsH tH DA`D Default Paragraph Fontdid  Table Normal.a44l44l (k (No List P/P Free Form AB*PJ_HmHphsHtH :o: Hyperlink1 >*CJph344  1Header  H$D/!D  1 Header CharB*CJPJaJph4 24  1Footer  H$D/AD  1 Footer CharB*CJPJaJph@@R@ ,^ List Paragraph ^PK![Content_Types].xmlN0EH-J@%ǎǢ|ș$زULTB l,3;rØJB+$G]7O٭VvnB`2ǃ,!"E3p#9GQd; H xuv 0F[,F᚜K sO'3w #vfSVbsؠyX p5veuw 1z@ l,i!b I jZ2|9L$Z15xl.(zm${d:\@'23œln$^-@^i?D&|#td!6lġB"&63yy@t!HjpU*yeXry3~{s:FXI O5Y[Y!}S˪.7bd|n]671. tn/w/+[t6}PsںsL.
