Grading and Assessments
You will have between 5-10 assessments each semester, regular homework assignments, work to complete in and outside of class, and a final/semester exam or project.
You are allowed to redo any assessment except the final but you must have all of your homework turned in AND attend an after school tutoring session. If you do not turn in your 1st assessment on time, the time you DO turn it in will count as the 2nd time/reassessment. This is due to the fact that you chose to take a 0/INC the first time.
If you score a D or F on any assessment you will be required to retake it.
All students will take a final.
Assessments are 85%, practice/homework is 15%.
For all other questions, please consult the handbook on the Monett High School website. You can download it for your reading pleasure or to use as a safe alternative for better sleep at night.

General Information
Please note that this is a literature class, not one that will be used to teach any personal theology or philosophy or opinions of the teacher. It should be viewed solely as a literature class, full of exciting readings, writings, and activities. It is expected that all students and focus on the literary elements of the readings ONLY and not bring their own personal opinions of theology/philosophy into classroom conversation.
During the year, the most important thing to keep in mind is that we will be looking at human themes and experiences, literary elements, the power of story, and characters as they develop through these stories.
