A. FIRST, complete your assignments for “WEEK ONE” on paper or computer. Essays MUST be double spaced and size 12 Times New Roman black font. Always save your work. Always type final work unless it is a drawing or graph. DO NOT SUBMIT SCANS OF WORK that are not for the purpose of a special project, art, or a mathematical graph or hand done math worksheet by which the answers could not be typed. Still copy that scan or photo to this document. Keep photos/images small.

B. NEXT, Type or copy & paste typed responses that you have prepared, in the spaces provided on THIS DOCUMENT. Only add your responses in the boxes that ask for them – such as “Add Responses Here”. Some assignments may require you to upload a photo or scan. PROOFREAD and double check your work. REPEAT “A” AND “B” FOR EACH WEEK. Save your work.

If your class requires a final exam then you must request it (Read #4).

4. VERY VERY VERY IMPORTANT: If your syllabus says “REQUEST YOUR FINAL EXAM”; then you must return to the school’s website and request your final exam.

Plagiarism Statement

I understand that I must use research conventions to cite and clearly mark other people's ideas and words within my paper. I understand that plagiarism is an act of intellectual dishonesty. I understand it is academically unethical and unacceptable to do any of the following acts of which I will be immediately expelled without refund:

• To submit an essay written in whole or in part by another student as if it were my own.

• To download an essay from the internet, then quote or paraphrase from it, in whole or in part, without acknowledging the original source.

• To restate a clever phrase verbatim from another writer without acknowledging the source.

• To paraphrase part of another writer's work without acknowledging the source.

• To reproduce the substance of another writer's argument without acknowledging the source.

• To take work originally done for one instructor's assignment and re-submit it to another teacher.

• To cheat on tests or quizzes through the use of crib sheets, hidden notes, viewing another student's paper, revealing the answers on my own paper to another student through verbal or textual communication, sign language, or other means of storing and communicating information--including electronic devices, recording devices, cellular telephones, headsets, and portable computers.

• To copy another student's work and submit the work as if it were the product of my own labor.

|Hola, mi nombre es Marco. Tengo 17 años y me mudé a los Estados Unidos con mis padres hace 2 años, desde el Perú. No tengo hermanos o hermanas; soy hijo único. Mis|

|padres vinieron a los Estados Unidos porque no pudieron encontrar trabajo en el Perú. Mi tía y tío se mudaron aquí hace 12 años y tienen un restaurante. Mi padre |

|trabaja como chef y mi madre trabaja como mesera en el restaurante. Es un trabajo difícil pero ellos están felices de tener ahora suficiente dinero y de que yo |

|tenga la oportunidad de obtener una buena educación. Dejar el Perú fue difícil para mí. Allá tenía mucha familia y amigos. Yo sólo podía hablar un poco de inglés y|

|mi familia no tenía mucho dinero. Las cosas van mejor ahora. He hecho algunos amigos y estoy aprendiendo inglés rápido. Me voy a graduar de preparatoria el próximo|

|año y espero ir a la universidad. Después de eso obtendré un trabajo como ingeniero y haré mucho dinero para que mis padres ya no tengan que trabajar tan duro. |

|Hi ! My name is Marco. I am 17 years old and moved to the United States 2 years ago from Peru with my parents. I don’t have any brothers or sisters; I am an only |

|child. My parents came to the US because they could not find work in Peru. My Aunt and Uncle had moved here 12 years ago and own a restaurant. My father works as a|

|chef and my mother works as a waitress at the restaurant. It is hard work but they are happy that they now have enough money and that I have the opportunity to get|

|a good education. Leaving Peru was hard for me. I had a lot of family and friends there. I could speak very little English and my family didn’t have a lot of |

|money. Things are better now. I have made a few friends and I am learning English fast. I will graduate High School next year and hope to go to college. After that|

|I will get a job as an Engineer and make a lot of money so that my parents don’t have to work so hard anymore. |
