Syllabus and Supplies for Literature


Today we discussed the syllabus.  Remember the lesson: "Never sign anything before you have 1) read it 2) completely understand it.  Make sure you read/explain it your parents tonight and have them sign it.

We also discussed a supply list.  I told you what I would use if I were you:

  • (1) 2 subject notebook with perforated pages (notes in the front, loose leaf in the back)***
  • 1 highlighter
  • 1 folder to keep work
  • blue or black pen to write with for class work (NO FLORESCENT COLORS!!)
  • 1 red or green or purple pen to check with (NO FLORESCENT COLORS!!)
***for the notebook, I am flexible.  It does not have to be a "2 subject".  If you want, you can have a binder of loose leaf with a notebook in the back.  The main thing I definitely want is a notebook for all your notes; no loose leaf for your notes!

Homework and Looking Ahead:
  • Bring in the syllabus signed by you AND your parents!
  • Bring your Outsiders book tomorrow.  We will discuss characterization.  Make sure you have your notebook for notes too!!
