Language Arts 1 Honors (Period 6) Assignments

Instructor
Ms. Cozette Petitt
Term
Semester 1 - 2013-14
Department
Language Arts
Description

Welcome to EDHS...and to Language Arts 1 Honors, where your insight, participation, collaboration, and creativity are encouraged & valued! On the right side, you will find important attachments that are revised throughout the year, as well as my long-term assignment policy below.

Long-term assignment policy: Long-term assignments = those you're given 4 or more school days to complete.  For full credit, these are due the date assigned, regardless of your presence in class (meaning, even if you are absent!).  Long-term assignments that are late will receive a 20% reduction.

Ideas for submitting on time: email it to me as an attachment (make sure it is attached and goes through - no computer excuses), have a parent/reliable individual place it in my mailbox, give it to a reliable friend to give to me.
