MATERIALS
Required materials include: a college-ruled notebook for class notes and vocabulary, 3-ring binder with
loose leaf collegiate lined paper, blue or black pens, flash drive, Internet connection or access, and
personal dictionary
All assignments and current text brought to class each day
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
All students are required to do their own work. This includes written and oral work.
If students are believed to plagiarize work, meaning without proper citation or credit, they will receive no
credit for that assignment, parent or guardian will be notified and the student will not receive a letter of
recommendation from me.
Students who are found to have plagiarized or are caught cheating more than once will face additional
consequences
All students are expected to be people of integrity and this requires honesty and good citizenship.
FILM/MEDIA
All films and websites will be relevant to the curriculum and will be studied. A film rated R may be
viewed with parent approval. Parent signature on this letter indicates that parents/guardians are apprised of
this possibility. If parents/guardians do NOT wish their child to view a R film, please make a notation
after you sign. An alternative assignment will be provided for students not viewing the film
During each semester students will work toward completing one major project in addition to daily course work.
These projects will require students to research, collaborate, analyze, and present. The explanations and rubrics for
each project will be posted on my website. Students will also be required to read an assigned novel in addition to
textbook readings during the year. Students may decide to purchase the assigned novels or acquire a library copy.
*Titles subject to change at teachers discretion
I have read and understand the contents of the student parent packet for American Literature.
