Memorization:  Lines from Romeo and Juliet or Sonnets
Please refer to February memorization handouts for suggestions for your selection.

Notes:
Last day for absent or failing make-up work for second Trimester: March 3
End of second trimester: March 4
Take tests within three days of returning to school after absence.
Turn in all assignments on time. Late work is not accepted except to bring failing grades (below 60%) up to passing or 50% credit for writing assignments.
Turn in absence make-up work within three days of returning to school. Cover sheets must accompany make-up work for absences. Check Scribe Book for assignments.
Read every day from books you have chosen to read outside of class.
Personal Reading requirement = 100 minutes per week from reading of your choice. In-class reading assignments do not count as personal reading. Complete Personal Reading Record and turn in by Friday (or Thursday) of each week.
Self-start at the beginning of class. Be seated, quiet, and working as soon as the tardy bell finishes ringing. Bring materials (including a pencil) to class every day.
Keep your participation points. Do not be tardy, use the hall pass, or disrupt class. If you use all of your participation points, you may not use the hall pass, so take care of restroom, drink, telephone, or office appointment needs before or after school or between classes.
Throwing items in class is disruptive, can be dangerous, and will result in calls home.

Be sure you have copies of all your poems (either hard copies or on your computer) for your spring poetry books. If you took your only copy home in your SLC folder, bring it back and put it in your writing portfolio. If you do not have the required poems, you will have to re-write them to receive credit. Poems you have written for class this year and poems you will be writing will be included in your books.
