· Always bring your notebook and something to write
with because we will be writing every day.
· Always respect the opinions of others and their
right to be heard. That means no interruptions or insults. (Also, no "This
is boring!" or "That’s not Fair!" This class is neither boring nor unfair.)
· ALWAYS DO YOUR HOMEWORK! It is a continuation
of what we do in class as well as an introduction to tomorrow. Also
it is the single most important part of your grade!
· LISTEN and WATCH and PAY ATTENTION!
