We expect every student to be respectful, responsible, and safe. These rules are general and apply throughout the building. What they mean in this classroom is as follows.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The text books for this class are Literature<\/u> and Write Source<\/u>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n English Language Arts is designed to help you effectively read, write, speak, and listen. To help you write better, we will focus on the six traits of writing: ideas, organization, sentences, words, voice, and conventions. To help you read better, you will be encouraged to use reading strategies: Question and Answer Relationships, Think Alouds, Shared Reading, and re-reading. Additionally, because of the SAT and other tests, we will emphasize grammar, especially the parts of speech. The class is structured around the practices of Reading Apprenticeship. The class is set up so that students work in groups and learn by working with each other.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Grades will be determined by tests (30%), writing (30%), reading logs\u2014guidelines posted on the blog (10%), and participation\u2014based on teacher observation of student working in a group, listening to speakers, responding to questions (30%).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Grades are scaled as follows: A=90%+, B=80-89%, C=70-79%, D=60-69%, E=0-59%.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I have seen my child\u2019s syllabus for ELA: parent signature________________<\/p>\n .<\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Lowrey Middle School Eighth-grade English Language Arts Syllabus Teacher: Mr. Wojtys 313-827-1800 wojtysj@dearbornschools.org Room 234 To make the time you spend in class enjoyable, you need to follow some rules.
