    7th Grade English

    Mrs. Watto
    Course Description
    7th Grade English is designed to develop students’ reading, writing,
    speaking, and listening skills. Students will read books, short stories,
    plays, poems, and news articles. The readings will prepare students to
    be critical thinkers and expose them to literary devices. Students will
    produce different styles of writing throughout the course, and they will
    participate in peer-review sessions.

    Academic Goals Classroom Goals


    ● To read and analyze literature ● To create a comfortable
    ● To identify, discuss, and use atmosphere that allows for
    literary devices everyone to feel respected

    speaking and listening skills ● To realize that there are different
    ● To develop critical-thinking skills points of view (not just in books!)
    ● To appreciate the art of language ● To act with self-discipline
    and self-expression ● To be the best possible version of
    yourself!

    Grading
    Students will be evaluated on the following components
    based on a point system:
    ● classwork
    ● homework
    ● essay outlines
    ● essays
    Requirements for Essays
    Students are responsible for printing their essays at the school library or
    at home. Print and staple essays before coming to class -- otherwise,
    essays are considered as late. If a student is unable to type the essay, the
    essay can be neatly written. Please use MLA format for each essay.

    Late Work Policy


    Students have a four-day window of time to turn in a late assignment in which they
    will forfeit 10% of the assignment’s grade. If an assignment is more than four days
    late, students will forfeit 30% of the assignment’s grade. When students return late
    work, they are required to paperclip a late-work form to the assignment. Please put
    late work in my hands -- not on my desk.

    Example: If a ten-point assignment is due on Monday and a student hands in the


    assignment late, the student can only earn a maximum of nine points on Tuesday,
    Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Any day after the four-day window, the student can
    only earn a maximum of seven points.

    Additional Classroom Expectations


    ● Pick up necessary materials from the front table upon entering the classroom.
    ● When leaving the classroom, sign out through the Google Form and take the
    wooden pass. Please exit and enter without creating a distraction.
    ● Students are given tickets for flexible seating. Place the ticket in the box located
    in the front of the classroom. Please be respectful and safe when using the
    flexible seating options.
    ● If a student is absent or misplaced an assignment, the student is responsible for
    locating the appropriate materials in the extra paper crate.
    ● Sign out/return books on the classroom library sheet, and use books with care.
    ● For our anchor texts, please use the book number assigned to
    you. Do not take someone else’s assigned book. If students are
    not prepared with their own books, they are to see me as I have
    “reserved” copies to borrow.
    ● Cell phones are not allowed in the classroom.
    ● All additional school rules apply.
