Welcome back for the 2010-2011 School Year!
Dear Students and Parents,
I am looking forward to seeing you again this year for English 9, British Literature, and/or College Writing!
I hope you are having a great summer! Don't forget to work on summer reading! Remember, that's a total of three books -- the book from the nonfiction list, the book from the fiction list, and the class book (for 9th -- Animal Farm and for 12th -- The Tale of Two Cities ). The assignments will be collected the first week of school. You can also expect for the class-assigned book to be testing within the first few days of class.
Please contact me IN ADVANCE through e-mail if you need help on your assignments or want to make a special request for a specific book.
School supplies for English class:
--A4-sized binder with A4 Loose leaf paper for all assignments, except for journal.
--B5 or A4 Notebook for journal: must be consistently used. (Obviously, if and when the notebook is full, you’ll buy a new one, but don’t change notebooks every week.)
--NEW: 3 highlighters -- yellow, blue, and green.
--Pens/pencils.
--IR book, or another novel as assigned by the teacher.
(12th Homeroom Students: Two boxes of kleenex
(College Writing Students: One box of index cards and one box of sticky-notes, if desired -- otherwise, you may tear paper to fulfill these requirement, as long as it's neat.)
See you in August!

J-Term Sociology Information
J-Term: Sociology Class Syllabus
Class Name: Sociology
Hour: Periods 3-4, 10:20am-12:05 pm; Periods 5-6, 1:10-3:00 p.m.
The best time for parents to call me is: 958-3000, from 8-3. Please set up an appointment to see and speak to me.
Course description: Sociology is an introductory course in the area of behavioral science. The course reviews the ways cultures and social groups affect human behavior through social status, institutions, and changes in society. Students identify and apply sociological principles and the scientific method to various aspects of their lives and society.
Class Activities: Class activities are designed to develop the students’ understanding of sociology and their communication skills. These activities include but are not limited to: reading in class (independently and in groups), writing to examine and explain their thoughts, working actively both individually and with others, viewing and analyzing media, and demonstrating their understanding through tests and projects.
You will need the following materials for this class:
-- A4 or B5 Loose leaf paper for all assignments, except for journal.
-- B5 or A4 Notebook for journal: must be consistently used. (English Students: Using your regular journal is fine.)
-- Pens/pencils.
-- IR book
-- Assigned textbook copy of Sociology: The Study of Human Relationships: Holt, Rinehart, and Winston, 2005.
Your grade will be based on the following:
Your grade will be determined based on the total number of points earned, from points available, in a given category.
--40% Tests (three quizzes at 50 points each; one exam at 150 points)
--25% Assignments (classwork, homework, participation)
--20% Journals (four entries: to be collected each Friday)
--15% J-Term Project and Presentation (to be displayed at the J-Term performance)
An important note on J-Term:
Remember, you are completing the responsibilities for 78 class periods (the equivalent of ONE FULL SEMESTER for which you will receive ½ credit) in a month. You are basically participating in a double-block academic class, which actually is a faster speed than what you will be expected to maintain in college. Take your assignments seriously and stay organized!
