Syllabus

=__Class Syllabus and Background Information __= English 11 Course Syllabus  //Miss DePanfilis – Room 41// Welcome to the 2011-2012 school year! I’m very excited about this school year and hope that you are too. In this course syllabus I will outline my class expectations and briefly explain some of the materials we will be covering throughout the course of the year. First off, I want to encourage parents and students alike to feel free to contact me with any comments or questions you may have. The best way to contact me is through e-mail at cdepanfilis@pasdedu.org. Also feel free to contact me by phone at high school at 642-2544 (ext. 41) and leave a message if I do not answer, as I check my messages frequently. Also, I will be posting many assignments, due dates, notes, and outlines of what students are doing each week on http://missdenglish11.wikispaces.com.


 * __Class Expectations for Students:__**


 * Language should be school appropriate and show respect for yourself and for others! Respect is the key to harnessing a positive and productive classroom environment!
 * You are responsible for being prepared for class each day. This means bring a pen or pencil daily, required text, and something to journal and keep notes in. I highly recommend a three-ring binder to keep notes, journals, and vocabulary in order!
 * Be in you seats and ready to learn when the bell rings! Use the restroom and go to your locker before or after class unless it is an emergency.
 * All assignments are due in class when requested by the teacher. Any assignment that is not turned in during your class period is considered late. **Late assignments** will be reduced 10 percentage points a class day and will not be accepted after one week.
 * Your **class journal** will be graded randomly throughout each 9 weeks and will be based mainly upon journal responses. You are expected to write no less than ½ of a page. You will be graded mainly on effort! Journaling is a way for you to put your own ideas and opinions on topics we will be discussing in class, so be a free thinker and get your ideas out there!

I’m looking forward to this coming school year and can’t wait to get to know everyone better! If you have any questions feel free to contact me!

Sincerely, Miss Christa DePanfilis = = =__Internet Etiquette __=
