Homework is WORTH 30 POINTS PER UNIT (6 CHPS)! Vocabulary pretest grades do not count. These are to help you study what you don’t know! Your pretest will be your “ticket” to take the Unit Test, so be sure to keep it! There will be five Unit Vocabulary Tests @ 50 points each! </p><p>The Personal Reflection Reading Log O A DAILY HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT ~ BEGINNING IMMEDIATELY The reading log has 7 places for entries each week and will be collected on Tuesdays. Each entry of 15 minutes of reading with 1 to 2 COMPLETE AND GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT sentences of PERSONAL REFLECTION/OPINION journaling is worth 4 points. It is important that you read daily AND THIS WILL AFFECT YOUR GRADE! This minimum of 15 minutes should be used for reading anything. Examples could be newspaper articles, literary works, textbooks for history, science, psychology, etc. The class novel, (N) Holes, is always a good choice!  The reading log is worth 28 points per week. Extra Credit Opportunity: Each vocabulary word used properly in a reading log’s PERSONAL OPINION sentence or other class writings must be underlined and will count as 1/2 bonus point! For your growth in vocabulary skills: On the back of your reading log, write the words you had to look up in the dictionary, or words that gave you a hard time. Put a “D” next to the words you had to look up to understand their meanings.</p><p>*** EVERY DAY, BRING: A BRIGHT PEN, A #2 PENCIL, AND TEXTBOOKS!*** 8/30-9/1 WEEK 1  Day 1 o Introductions and registration adds/drops o Procedures, expectations, handouts o Explanation of syllabus, textbooks, journaling, lab portfolio, Scantrons o Suggestions to help during the reading of (N) Holes (Handout) o Attendance… …5 points .
