Welcome to English IV! Throughout the course, we will read several works of British literature
and write in preparation for your college English classes. 

Required Supplies for Everyone:
Chromebook, charger, and headphones (have your computer fully charged every day).

Books
You may be required to purchase novels a few times during the semester. Titles will be provided in class at least one week in advance.

Academic Honesty
Academic honesty is required in this class. I take the honor code very seriously. Do your own work, work hard, and ask for extra help if needed.
Plagiarism or cheating will result in failure on an assignment. Cheating includes copying homework and aiding others in cheating. Students will submit all formal work (and some daily work) to www.turnitin.com. 

Late work is accepted for partial credit. This applies to all work that is not submitted when the assignment is due. Always email me if you run into an issue submitting your work.

Class Grading:

Grades are computed using the following weights:
Tests/Major Essays/Large Projects are worth 45%
Quizzes/Mini Projects/Informal Writing Assignments are worth 35%
Daily Assignments and Homework are worth 20%

Classroom Expectations:
As a student in this class, you are expected to:
Be on time for class meeting times be and prepared to learn every day.
Be respectful of our learning environment (both in-person and online) by actively participating in-class activities and being non-disruptive.
Be cooperative and respectful of other students and the teacher.
Submit all assignments by their due date.
Not use cell phones or engage in non-English class-related computer use during class time.
Have phones put away to avoid distraction and to encourage engagement with class activities.
