jan 30_feb 3

Your grade:

ACT words
ACT words are due each week. Your grade will be a zero if you do not turn the ACT words in when they are due. You cannot makeup ACT words unless you have an excused absence.

If you are in the Art, Design and Communications (ADC) academy, you will submit your ACT word assignment through Edmodo, using your laptop. All ADC academy students must submit this assignment on line, using Edmodo. If you are in the ADC academy and you do not submit through Edmodo, your grade will be a zero.

If you are not in the ADC academy, you may submit this assignment on paper. You are encouraged to submit the assignment online as well. You could work with someone who has a laptop, or you could use another computer to submit the ACT words assignment through Edmodo.

Late work, if it is accepted, will be given a grade of 75% of what the original score would have been. If your grade would have been 100 if you turned it in on time, your late grade will be 75.


Electronic devices
Cell phones, portable music players, headphones, earbuds, and other electronic devices are not permitted.
The only exception is your school-issued laptop & ear buds, I believe. That means if you are using your school-issued laptop and ear buds for assigned work, this is permitted....at this point in time. This could change if my understanding is incorrect.


Please bring a pencil to class. I cannot "loan" pencils. I'm just about out. You can also donate pencils.
