Welcome back, Freshmen! Guess it's time to gear up for the great writers of all times -- including you. Not only will we be reading some great literature, but you will be composing, too.
Just to give you a clue to what this semester has in store for you, I've compiled a list of readings and projects we will attempt this semester. They include:
A. Mythology: The Odyssey
B. Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare
C. Great Expectations by Charles Dickens
D. Creative writing assignments
E.. A movie review
F. Vocabulary and grammar assignments
G. Two novels
For this class, you will need a notebook to take notes during class lectures.
Have literature books, notebook and pens with you when you come to class.
Remember that class participation and attitude are part of your daily grade. Set a goal for yourself, and you will achieve. If I can help in any way, let me know.
Classroom Rules:
• Students will come to class with textbooks, notebooks and writing utensils.
• Phones are not acceptable in the classroom. Any use of a phone during class hours will result in loss of the phone until further notice.
• Students will turn in assignments on time and in a neat format. Deadlines should be honored.
• Students will need to complete homework assignments in order to evolve into intelligent speakers who will maintain valuable class discussion.
• No rudeness or harassment to any member of this class will be tolerated.
• One warning should suffice before student will be asked to leave the room.
• In the above scenario, no credit will be accrued for the class.
• Good manners only are acceptable. No suggestive language or innuendos will be tolerated.
• Bathroom breaks will be taken in a timely fashion, not exceeding three minutes.
• Cheating is sharing information when it is not acceptable, so the resulting grade will be divided between the participants.
• If a grade is disputed, a calm and rational discussion only is the appropriate response.
• Students will be held responsible for their activities outside of the classroom when using a pass. Violation of this will result in loss of the pass privileges.
• If a student needs help with studying for a test or on daily assignments, please ask.
