<p>Class Contract Dawn Cardenas</p><p>← Dear Mrs. Cardenas,</p><p>← I hereby give my word to follow this contract verbatim and to</p><p> read like a traffic cop with a radar gun pointed at an </p><p> oncoming vehicle at all times while learning online in your </p><p> class.</p><p>← I. I agree to purchase or check out the required </p><p>COURSE MATERIALS: </p><p>1. This is my first and final warning to obtain the novel, video or play I need PRIOR to beginning the module. If the library or book store does not have the novel I need, I understand that does affect my grade. If the library doesn’t have the novel I need, I understand I need to purchase it. A delayed Amazon.com order is not a valid excuse.</p><p>2. I will not begin reading/watching any material until the course requests me to do so.</p><p>3. I will choose novels from the Course Information area under Materials List.</p><p>4. If I’m taking the course for honors credit, I must choose the honor novels. If I’m not taking the course for honors credit, I still may choose honors novels. </p><p>II. I agree to fulfill the WEEKLY EXPECTATIONS: ← 1. I will read and respond to email regularly. </p><p>← 2. I will read your ANNOUNCEMENTS before calling or emailing you.</p><p>← III. I agree to follow YOUR PACE CHART found at http://brainstorm1101.com/learn/:.</p><p>1. I will complete assignments according to the pace chart that you issue. </p><p>2. I can work ahead of pace, but I CANNOT fall behind pace. </p><p>3. As an ENGLISH 2 Student, I WILL NOT Choose my own path! My path is as follows:</p><p> Segment 1: Laughter, Love and Loss, Obstacles, Pride</p><p> Segment 2: Betrayal, Fear, Power, Transformation</p><p>← 7. I understand that Mrs. Cardenas is not a pace police officer. By entering her course, I am agreeing to complete it according to the pace chart she issues me on her website. I understand Mrs. C spends her time instructing students on reading and writing skills and not answer questions about pace. If I do not know where I am in the course, I am not fulfilling my end of the deal. </p><p>← IV. I agree to your GRADING POLICIES:</p><p>1. I understand all exams and worksheets are to be submitted one time and there are no retakes on exams or worksheets. 2. I will wait and allow each assignment to be graded before resubmitting.</p><p>3. I will view my grade and Mrs. C’s comments by going to ‘GRADEBOOK.’ </p><p>4. I understand my grade is viewable to me and my parents 24/7.</p><p>5. I understand most grading in Mrs. C’s course is subjective, i.e., it’s her opinion. I will refer to her grading rubrics to understand why I received any grade. Rubrics are found at: http://brainstorm1101.com/learn/ </p><p>6. I understand Mrs. C does not allow resubmissions on work that is an ‘A’, i.e., 90/100 or 45/50. She often writes college and other such recommendations and she uses the final grade to help determine my level of scholarship. If I am going for the ‘A+’ in her class, I should go for it upon my first submission.</p><p>← V. I agree to your EMAIL & PHONE ETIQUETTE requirements:</p><p>← 1. I will be respectful of office hours. Although I have 24 hour access to my courses, I do not have 24 hour access to my teacher(s).</p><p>← 2. When communicating with Mrs. C, I will either leave a voice message or email, I realize there's no need to do both. </p><p>← 3. If I do not reach her on the phone or by email, I will leave ONE message, ONE time and feel confident that she will receive my message and get back with me as soon as possible. I understand there's no need to leave multiple messages. ← 4. I understand when leaving a message, I will include my first and last name, a brief reason why I called and, most importantly, the best PHONE NUMBER to reach me that day. </p><p>← VI. I agree to complete DISCUSSION BASED </p><p>ASSESSMENTS (DBA) in a timely manner. </p><p>1. I understand the top of my pace chart lists which assignments are considered DBA’s. </p><p>2. I understand DBA’s are completed with my classmates using Elluminate. I will check ‘Announcements’ for specific details on how to complete each DBA.</p><p>3. I understand the information in Announcements changes over time and will always check for updates.</p><p>4. As a 9th grader, I understand Wednesdays are dedicated to completing DBA’s. I will check Announcements for the exact time.. I may skip a DBA that is due on my pace chart if I am not prepared by Wednesday. I will attend the following week.</p><p>5. As a 10th grader, I understand Mondays are dedicated to completing DBA’s. I will check Announcements for the exact time.. I may skip a DBA that is due on my pace chart if I am not prepared by Monday. I will attend the following week and will submit the assignment as requested in Announcements for the course to release the next assignment. 6. I understand if I need to complete a monthly call, I will use the virtual scheduler located on Mrs. C’s Announcement page to book an appointment.</p><p>← VII. I understand how FILE NAMING works</p><p>← 1. When sending files that have photos, graphics, or pictures of any kind, I will NOT send these files as an rtf (rich text format). </p><p>Sending as an rtf removes all items in a document except for words. The following link provides a safe, free way of converting my documents into pdf’s: </p><p>← Www.Cutepdf.com </p><p>← VIII. I understand the above information helps me be successful in my online experience. I will contact Mrs. C with any further questions. She can be reached at (954)693-3538 or [email protected]</p><p>← I look forward to working with you Mrs. Cardenas.</p><p>←</p><p>← M/J Reading 1</p><p>← Discussion Based Assessment</p><p> Oral Reading Fluency and Retelling</p><p> 2.09, 4.09, 7.07, 9.09 9th Grade English 1 Overview Dawn Cardenas</p><p>Module 0: Honors students only: *0.00 obtain novel and begin work. 0.00 is not due immediately.
