Ms. Stanley
Welcome to 10th Grade American Literature!

Work together to create a productive academic environment.
Supplies: Required Daily Materials
Pencil and Pen
Notebook
Folder or binder
Uniform and School issued I.D.
Grades: Grades are calculated per the handbook. All graded work will be returned to the student. The
student must keep all graded work for the entire quarter. Aside from serving as study materials for
midterms and finals, it is also your evidence of work completed and grade earned.
Marking period Calculations:
Bell Work/Homework=20%
Class Work/Participation= 20%
Quizzes=20% Tests= 20%
Projects/Essays=20%

Semester Grade Calculations:

First Quarter Grade=40%
Second Quarter Grade=40%
1st Semester Final Exam=20%

Homework and Projects: Assignments are due at the beginning of the hour; unless otherwise specified.
Late work will be graded down 11% for each day it is late.
Tests and Quizzes: The student is expected to attend class daily. If the student has an excused absence on
the day of the test, the student assumes the responsibility for making up the test/quiz upon return by
appointment either before or after school.
Notebooks/Folders: Each student must have all materials needed for class. Each student will create and
use tabs in their notebook for their agenda, bell work, and notes.
Cheating: Will not be tolerated.
Plagiarism: Plagiarism is not accepted in school and in life. You cannot steal another persons work.
Plagiarism is passing off someone elses work for your own. Avoid plagiarism by putting information into
your own words, citing where you obtained the information, and relying on your own brain. The most

common way students plagiarize is when they copy and post information from a website into their paper.
It is very easy for a teacher to catch plagiarism in student work.
Absences and Tardies: Students are expected to attend school on time daily. The district attendance
policy will be followed. Students are marked on time to class when they are in their seat and
working. Students are required to have a pass explaining they tardiness or absence. Students without this
pass will not be allowed in the classroom. Tardiness disrupts the work environment and compromises the
education of everyone in the class. A wise person once said 50% of being successful is just showing up.
Be here.
