HONORS WORLD LIT 

• Honors is a rigorous reading and writing intensive course.
• The late homework policy is 25% for 1 day; 50% for 2 days.  Late means not turned in at the beginning of the class period.
• The class blog contains our daily grind. Link through schoology. 
• Your student will have homework most days. Students should have a planner or other organizational tool. Check for it.
• The keys to success for Honors are time management and a positive mindset toward excellence. 
• Encourage your student to take opportunities to revise his/her work to improve skills and grades. Writing conferences are key. 
• Academic Integrity is an expectation. 
• I am your student’s guide. Encourage your student to communicate with me when extra help is needed. Seminar, lunch, after school, or in a google document-- there is a time for a work session with me.
• I have tentative plans for a class field trip and for class movie nights. If you’re willing to chaperone, sign up tonight.
