ÁùºÏ²Êͼ¿â

Welcome to Grade 12--English 4

This class is structured around the curriculum of ÁùºÏ²Êͼ¿â (Critical Concepts Edition), Language Arts Florida Standards (LAFS) and the HMH Florida Collections. The purpose of this course is to provide grade 12 students, using texts of high complexity, integrated language arts study in reading, writing, speaking, listening, and language for college and career preparation and readiness. This class is a graduation requirement, along with a passing score on the FAST Reading or equivalent assessment.

Classroom Rules and Expectations:

I expect all students to come to class on time (seated when the bell rings) and to be prepared to learn with a good attitude throughout the class period. Bell work completion should be in progress when the bell rings. Additionally, I expect all students to practice organization, self- control, self-motivation, and determination,  and be able to apply the following principles in and outside of the classroom:

• Treat all teachers, members of the administration, security, visitors, and your peers with respect at all times.

• Be honest and fair.

• Obey CHS and ÁùºÏ²Êͼ¿â rules and policies.

• No food in class. All drinks must have a sealed top.

• Always be prepared for class, which includes having supplies and completing assignments.

• Silence and put away all electronic devices during class time. 

• Raise your hand to ask questions and/or contribute to a discussion.

Grading Policy:

All Grades will follow the ÁùºÏ²Êͼ¿â Grading Policy. You will be responsible for keeping track of your grade. You can do so through FOCUS- both students and parents have access. Grades will stem from homework assignments, class assignments, tests, projects, quizzes, participation, and group work.
