W3: Hero's Journey Introduction + Prepositional Phrases

Hi all!

Great job this past week. We had 55% of you get 100%! AMAZING!!!  We also had 97% get a C or above on this last assignment! ❤️ 💯 🙌 🎉 🎉 🎉 👍 

If you would like to revise last week's assignment, make sure you email me (see instructions at the end of this assignment). 

We will keep reviewing these questions (easy points each week) just to make sure we know how class works.

1.) What work should I focus on?  Each week the points get higher as assignments get harder.  This means you should always work on the current work first (or any work needed to complete the current work) before completing old assignments.

2.) Old Work/Make-up Work: You can only make up or redo major or large assignments from wihtin the quarter. So you can only make up major assignments (not little assignments) each quarter. Once quarter 2 begins you cannot make up major assignments from quarter 1.

3.) Late Work: If you are completing late work (if the assignment is allowed to be late) YOU MUST EMAIL ME!!!!  I do really wish I were a psychic. I would probably make more money if I could predict when you decided to turn something in late. However, I cannot guess when you submit something late. I spend around 2-3 minutes per student grading ( an average of 5 hours of grading for each assignment). Once I grade something, I don't even think about looking back on it unless a student lets me know they completed it late.

4.) Office Hours: When is Ms. Jernberg's Office hours?  TUESDAYS right after school from 3:50-4:50 ! I would love to see you there!! :) This is the easiest and FASTEST way to raise your grade!

1

BASED on the information above, what should I work on first in English (this may not be true for other classes)?

1

Can I make up anything all semester like last semester?

If you complete an assignment a day or two late, what do you need to do in order to receive credit for the assignment?

When are Ms. Jernberg's office hours?

Review of Classroom Norms
) Only one student to the bathroom at a time (this is a school rule, not a Ms. Jernberg rule).

) Cell Phones are not allowed in the classroom. This is also a school rule.

) Headphones can only be worn during individual work time.

0

How is the bathroom rule working for you? Are you having any issues with too many students asking or the same people asking everyday? Explain below (your answer will remain confidential/ No name attached).

1

Are you aware that you cannot have your cellphone out in class and it will be logged in Power School if seen.

1

Do you understand why cell phones are not allowed in the classroom?

1

If you answered "No" above. Let me know if you would like a private or if we should have a group discussion about cell phones in the classroom.

1

Are you aware that you cannot have headphones in during the Do Now or during group activities?

1

Listening to music is one of the greatest things on earth. However, make sure you can handle listening to music and doing work. I notice some students changing songs more than they are working.

During the Do Now, I want your full concentration (zero song lyrics). During group activities, I want students communicating with others in their group. The ability to work with anyone and solve problems is critical to any job, relationship, life problem IN LIFE! These are the reasons why heaphones are only allowed during individual work time.

The focus skills for this class are your writing skills and your reading skills. You will have lots of opportunities to listen to music as you write and do individual work; I promise!

Instructions: Read the text above and then select the options where you see information from the text above. HINT: There are three options that you need to select!

I understand that different teachers have different rules/norms. Would you like a poster of these norms to help you remember them in our class?
