CLASSROOM POLICIES:
1. Respect Ms. Hinson and your classmates. Respect is reflected in the language that we use and the behavior that we choose. As a consequence, no profanity, abusive language, aggressive or degrading behaviors will be tolerated.
2. This is an academic environment; consequently, students are to act accordingly. Any inappropriate acting out or unnecessary talking when someone is delivering a presentation will not be tolerated. The only appropriate behavior when a student is delivering a presentation is active listening.
3. Students will not eat or drink in the classroom.
4. Students may not chew gum while they perform a speech or presentation. Students who chew gum during a presentation will receive a letter-grade deduction for the speech.
5. Promptness is required. Students are considered tardy if they are not in the classroom and started on the bellringer.
6. Students are to follow norms of good taste and ethics in the choice of a topic and in the delivery. It is the ethical responsibility of speaker to uplift society rather than to denigrate it.
7. Homework is due on the day it is assigned. Any homework that is not turned in the date it is due will receive a 10% deduction each late day. In the event of an excused absence, homework assigned on the last day the student was in school is due upon the student’s return. Students who have an excused absence on the day they are assigned to speak must present their speeches on the day they return to class.
8. If students are unprepared to speak on the date they are assigned to speak, they will receive ½ credit for the speech if they present the speech the next day, and a grade of zero thereafter.
9. In the event of a snow day or a school closing, all assignments due on the day of the closing will be due on the first day school resumes.
10. Cheating and plagiarism will result in a failing grade on the assignment, teacher referral, possible detention, parent contact, and permanent documentation in the student’s disciplinary file. Repeated plagiarism could result in a failing grade for the semester.
ALL OF THESE CLASSROOM POLICIES ARE ALSO IN EFFECT WHEN A SUBSTITUE TEACHER IS PRESENT.
