As the 8th Grade English and Literature teacher, it is my goal to present new materials, practice skills, and engage un conversations that will enable my students to be successful in the areas of instruction outlined by the Oklahoma Academic Standards.

 

 

 

Homework: Homework is defined in my class as work not completed in the given class time. Homework will be minimal, if students use their class time wisely. it is the student's responsibility to turn in work upon return to the class, without a reminder. According to the handbook, 10% will be deducted from work turned in beyond the due date

c* Writing tools using INK, will not be allowed in my classroom!

*Exception to the Rule: Highlighters will be used on occasion.
