10th Grade English/Language Arts

Mrs. Bojonca

Curriculum

Students will receive instruction based upon the Alabama State Department course of study and objectives. Special attention will also be paid to ACT Quality Core Standards as well as Common Core Standards. Students will also learn vital skills concerning listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Students will be presented with many strategies to improve their language usage and comprehension. Students will read a variety of literature ranging from America’s beginnings to the 1900s.

• Students will complete several units created by ACT Quality Core. Students will be prepared for The PLAN and the End of Course Test through the work completed in this class.

• Students will be expected to read at least three novels over the course of the year.

Grading

The grading procedure will be as follows:

25% Daily Grade This includes homework, class work, warm-ups, and cooperative work.

50% Test Grade This includes unit tests, research paper, vocabulary quizzes, and presentations.

25% Final Exam 9 Weeks/Final Exam

*Final papers are to be written in ink on the front side of the paper. If papers are typed please use Times New Roman 12 font.

All papers should be double-spaced.

It is the student’s responsibility to make-up work. I will not remind students that they need to make up an assignment. Students will have 2 days to make up an assignment if their absence is excused. Students will not be able to make up work that is missed because of an unexcused absence.

Homework and Class work

I will not assign homework every night, but I will assign homework occasionally. If a

student does not complete class work they may complete some assignments as homework.

Expectations

I expect students to always do their best in the classroom. I expect students to be respectful to me and to their peers. Students should always turn in work on time. Class attendance is also important to be successful in my classroom. Students should bring all materials necessary for class everyday.
