SECOND SEMESTER…

Welcome to your new classes… We have a new semester and a new

beginning. You are all starting this class with an A, and

we need to review our rules, procedures, and expectations to maintain those grades.

As a teacher and as a school, we have lost our patience with students who do not plan to follow the necessary expectations of students.

A REMINDER OF THE EXPECTATIONS1) ENTERING THE CLASSROOM

You will enter the classroom quietly, take your seat and start your journal write.

I will call on you randomly, and if you haven’t completed the work the will stand and write against the wall. If this becomes a problem, your parent/guardian will receive a phone call home.

TARDIES WILL STOP NOW. Aside from when you first come arriving

to school in the morning, there is a new tardy policy.

If you come late to 2nd period, 3rd period, or DEAR, your name will be written on the board along with the number of minutes you came late. You will then stay after class, and we will call your parent or guardian together.

CLASSROOM BEHAVIOR You know how to act. You know what it means to

be respectful of your peers, your teacher, and yourself. Do it.

If you talk to me in a way that is defiant, you will be asked to step outside and collect yourself. If you can’t get it together, your going to Mr. Sanders office and going home. You are students, and I am your teacher. This is how the world works. As a school, we are not preparing you for the real world, if we do not teach you how to respect and treat your authority figures.

REALITY CHECK…WHERE WE ARENow that you know my expectations, we

are ready to set your personal goals. Take a look at your personal goal sheet.

IN ORDER TO IMPROVE OUR SCORES WE NEED TO

Make sure we are prepared everyday! Do you have a notebook? Is it organized? Do you have a pen/pencil/paper? Do you have the right mindset? Do you have your homework?

In writing, you can use quotations to __________________. Look at the essay below:

Slavery in Barbados was cruel. Humans were treated like animals. As Equiano described, “we were all penned up together like so many sheep,” (pg. 31).

Today we will examine the correct way to use quotations.

Quotations will always be put into quotation marks ( “ ”). “Ms. Roth knows 6B students are intelligent,” (pg. 1).

The first letter of the quotation will begin with a capital letter. “Ms. Roth knows 6B students are intelligent,” (pg. 1).

If the quotation is a question, the question mark will be placed before the end of the quotation “Does Ms. Roth think we can succeed if we work hard?”

(pg. 2). If the quotation is exclamatory, the exclamation

point will be placed before the end of the quotation. “Yes, she does!” (pg. 2).

If the quotations is a statement (ends with a period), the period will be replaced with a comma. Ms. Roth says we are scholars. “Ms. Roth says we are

scholars,” (pg. 3).

Practice: Change the following into quotations. Example: I love English! 3 “I love English!” (pg. 3). The weather is alarming! 2
