Welcome to Communications 11! I’m excited to be working with you and looking forward to a great semester! Please find course information below, and know that the following is subject to change.

 

TOPICS OF INSTRUCTION

 

  • Functional Writing: focus on sentence structure, paragraph writing, formal and informal writing activities

  • Creative Writing: descriptive language, reflections, and journal entries

  • Short Stories: story to be determined

  • Novel Study

  • Miscellaneous Activities: film study, mini presentations, grammar activities, letters, etc.

 

EVALUATION

 

You will be evaluated on an ongoing basis. Class participation, assignments, group activities, quizzes, and other routine activities, as well as a final exam. Your mark will be calculated as follows:

 

  • Oral Language                                                        15%

  • Reading, Listening, and Viewing                           30%

  • Writing and Representing                                      40%

  • Final Project/Exam                                                  15%

 

EXPECTATIONS

 

In order to have a fun, positive, and successful semester, I expect everyone to adhere to the following expectations in our classroom.

 

  • RESPECT: show respect for the classroom, your peers, any staff members, and yourself.

  • ATTENDANCE: attend all classes on time and prepared. I do give plenty of time for work to be completed during class time, and thus consistent attendance will help you stay on top of assignments.

  • HAND IN ASSIGNMENTS: your success in this course is mostly dependent on the quality and completion of your class work. Be sure to hand in assignments in a timely manner. I do not have a late penalty, but I do expect class time to be used wisely.

  • PLAGIARISM: please do not copy and paste from Google and pretend it is your own! I will find out and it’s not fun for either of us. If you are caught plagiarizing, you will receive one free pass and a chance to redo the assignment. If you are caught plagiarizing a second time, you will receive zero.

  • TRY YOUR BEST: ask for assistance when needed!

 

 

 

I want you to be successful in this course! Let’s have a fun semester!
