 2008 Mr. Glisch   General Course Outline  In this course we will cover four major units:   Poetry  Short Stories  Grammar  The Classics  Each unit will consist of small assignments, papers, and assessments. Due to the ever changing status of classes, I can’t provide any further detail on these units. At the beginning of each unit, the unit expectations and requirements will be discussed.  <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt"> <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Rockwell Extra Bold','serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt">Expectations of Me <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Rockwell Extra Bold','serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt"> <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt">As I expect each of you to be responsible parts of this learning community, you can expect of me the same professionalism and responsibility. Expect that I will come to class ready to get to work. I enjoy having fun with my classes but realize that there is work to be done. I will do my best to make the curriculum intriguing and involving, but cannot force you to open your mind to the idea of learning the material. This is where you take over. <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Rockwell Extra Bold','serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt"> <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Rockwell Extra Bold','serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt"> <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Rockwell Extra Bold','serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt">Student Expectations <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Rockwell Extra Bold','serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt"> <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt">This could be written as a five hundred page manual….or simply put as such: <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt"> <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt">As an active and equal part of this classroom, students are expected to perform in a manner which reflects school policies and the characteristics of responsible, young adults. <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt"> <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt"> **<span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt">Classroom ** <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt"> <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt">Students are expected to respect the learning environment at all times. <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt"> <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt"> then it is something that you should not be doing. <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt"> <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt"> **<span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt">Discipline ** <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt"> <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt">Discipline issues will be dealt with on an individual basis.
