The following set of class policies covers all of the regular, repeating procedures for IB English 12 for the 2018-2019 school year. Please note that policies are subject to change, if necessary, but any changes that turn out to be needed will be well-publicized in advance of implementation. The policies are grouped by the type of procedure that you will be required to adhere to, but they are also identified by the relevant Learner Profile traits. These policies are designed to help you learn to master your own fate as well as mastering all 10 of the core skills which constitute the foundation of the IB diploma programme.

Attendance Policy

You are expected to be in class every day unless your absence is unavoidable. I will follow all Henrico County Public Schools attendance policies as laid out in the code of conduct. Some important additional implications:

Work missed during an unexcused absence or tardy cannot be made up. You will earn a zero. Be sure you are meticulous about ensuring that all absences are properly excused through channels. If your absence shows in PowerSchool as unexcused, it is YOUR responsibility to alert me later when that has been updated to an excused absence.

Please be sure to contact me directly by end of school with an explanation of any absence so that I can alert you if something particular happens that day that you need to know about.

You have one week to make up work that was newly assigned in your absence. (This would be a rare occurrence, as all assignments are on the syllabus which you get at the beginning of each unit and which is posted on Schoology.)

Expect to be given a quiz or test taken in your absence during the class period on your return.

Work that was due on the day you were absent is due upon your return, or it is late. EXCEPTION: any major assessment (essay or other project) is due by the regular deadline, even if you are not at school. (See detailed explanation below.)

Per Administration: teachers have the right to ask to see a doctors note if you are absent sick on a day on which absences are highly suspect. For our purposes, expect me to ask to see a doctors note for absences on senior skip day (which is NOT a sanctioned activity), if you report that you are sick on the days on which we have the long SOL testing periods, and on IB exam days when you make it to the exam but were absent sick in the morning. If you wish to skip on some day on which you and your friends think it would be enjoyable, then do so, but accept the consequence of an unexcused absence and a zero for any work missed. Other than pop quizzes, you will generally know in advance what you are missing and what it will cost you to skip.

Plan ahead, especially with regard to college visits. Please do NOT plan any college visits for April. April is a CRITICAL month for IB English exam review. You have all year to go visitdo it early.

As of May, 2018, the final exam exemption policy for seniors is the following: more than 6 unexcused tardies to school (1st and 2nd combined) nullifies all exam exemption for all classes. Ten (10) absences from any given class nullifies exemption in that class (field trips and principal approved absences do not countit is YOUR responsibility to document those to any given teacher). You must have earned 85% for the 4th nine weeks AND for the year in order to be eligible to exempt exams.

If you do not secure my permission BEFORE you miss IB English 12 to go help with some activity or to make up work in another class. Should you fail to obtain my permission beforehand, your absence will be marked as unexcused, and you will earn a zero for whatever work you missed. Repeat instances may result in disciplinary action for skipping.

Field trips which are properly documented and principal-approved absences are excused; however, if you have a major assignment due that day, it is due on time, regardless of your absence.

Grading Policy

You will ultimately receive two grades for IB English 12; one from the International Baccalaureate Organization and one from Henrico County Public Schools. Neither grade influences the other.

The IB English grade is scored 1-7, with 7 being the highest, and it is determined based on the total scores from the following assessments:

Works in Translation Paper (completed 11th grade)25%

Individual Oral Presentation (completed 11th grade)30% (mark is averaged w/12th grade oral assessment, so each part is effectively worth 15%)

Oral Commentary & Interview (completed 12th grade, in January)30% (mark is averaged w/11th grade oral assessment)

Exam Paper 1 (May, 2018)20%

Exam Paper 2 (May, 2018)25%

Your HCPS grade is the one which will go on your regular transcript and will be submitted to colleges as you go through the application process. It will be calculated using the regular HCPS grading scale. Every assignment will be marked out of 100 points, so you will be able to see immediately where the grade falls on the HCPS scale. For English 12, we will follow an adapted English Department Grading Policy in calculating your grade. Your assignments will be divided into the following categories:

Assigned Homework & Classwork 25%

Quizzes & Minor Projects 35%

Tests and Major Projects (including essays) 40%

I typically keep grades updated in PowerSchool, but I make it a point to update grades no later than Friday at 7 pm of each week. Please monitor your grades, and if you find an error, bring me the graded assignment so I can make the correction. Please understand that I will not discuss grades, either with you or your parents, via e-mail; instead, you need to be your own advocate (practicing self-advocacy is a necessary skill for you to develop). You should make arrangements to discuss grades with me in person either before or after school not during class. Whenever you do a practice for an IB assessment, you will receive an HCPS grade, and I will ALSO issue an IB grade. The grade for IB Assessments will not affect your grade, but it will help you see how you are progressing in terms of developing the skills you need for those assessments.

Homework and Classwork Completion and Submission Policy

Policies and Procedures

Related Learner Profile Trait(s)

Late work: all late work earns 50% regardless of how late it is. Anything after the deadline is late2 seconds, 2 minutes, 2 hours, 2 days. The reason for this policy is that you are preparing to submit work to two types of organizations that typically have no tolerance for late work: the International Baccalaureate Organization and colleges/universities.

Knowledgeable

Principled

Deadline for late work: You may submit an assignment late until 9:00 a.m. one week after the original due date. If you miss a deadline on a Monday, you have until 9:00 the following Monday to turn it in. That deadline is an absolute, non-negotiable deadline. One week is the LATEST you may turn in late work; you may always turn it in sooner. If you are absent, or if there is no school on that absolute last date, then make sure you get the work in prior to that day. As a rule, no assignments will be accepted for credit after the end of the parking period.

Knowledgeable

Principled

All electronically submitted assignments are due by 9:00 a.m. on the due date. This procedure has been implemented to stop what was once a widespread problem of students working on homework assignments for one class while sitting in another class. When you are in a class, 100% of your attention needs to be on that class. (See research on the failure of multitasking mentioned elsewhere in this policy document.) If you have an emergency, simply contact me as soon as humanly possible. All true emergencies will be dealt with appropriatelyyou will not be penalized for events out of your control! (I forgot or I procrastinated are NOT emergencies)

Knowledgeable

Communicators

Principled

The clocks on turnitin.com, Schoology, and my email account are considered to be definitive, whether they match your computers clock or not. If the submission box has closed, or if your submission is tagged LATE, then your work is late. If you cannot submit work to turnitin.com or Schoology from home, then make sure that you arrive at school in plenty of time to submit before 9:00. Give yourself extra time in case of traffic or other problems. I will not accept screen shots showing when you created or edited the document as evidence that you tried to submit on time.

Knowledgeable

Communicators

Principled

You must have proof that your submission went in on time to override the record on my end. The excuse of malfunctioning technology will not suffice unless you can show me a ticket from the help desk confirming that your computer is being repaired. If you send something via email, and it doesnt get to me, you will have to produce your time- and date-stamped copy of the sent email. If you submit something to Turnitin.com, you will have to produce the receipt from turnitin.com with the time stamp, or you will have to show me that the file is in your turnitin.com box even though it does not show on my end. If you submit something to Schoology, it will be labeled LATE if you missed the deadline. Remember that screen shots of document lists or of the last version of a document (or of anything else) are not sufficient.

Knowledgeable

Communicators

Principled

Know WHAT you are submitting to any electronic site. Submitting the wrong file, an incomplete document, an old version of your file, or the assignment sheet by mistake will not be considered an excuse for late work. Submitting the document to the wrong site or folder will not be considered an excuse. Such errors will result in the work being counted late. Remember that late work counts 50% regardless of how late it is.

Knowledgeable

Communicators

Principled

Deadlines are negotiable IF YOU COME TO ME IN ADVANCE. Please not wait until your life is a shambles before seeking solutions, and please do not abuse my willingness to work with you. No extensions will be permitted 24 hours prior to a deadline unless the circumstances are catastrophic (house burning down, death in the family, personal hospitalizationand of course we hope that you do not suffer anything like any of these problems this year!). I will work with you if you come to me in advance with a problem, but I will not enable procrastination.

All major assessments (such as essays or projects) are due on time, even if you are not school. This rule was implemented several years ago to stop a widespread practice of students staying at home to complete major assignments and then turning them in the next day on their return. Students who miss other classes to complete homework do themselves a disservice and harm their chances to do well on the IB assessments in those classes. Assessments that are due electronically can be submitted from home; assessments that are due in hard copy must be delivered to school by the deadline. Another student can bring it, or a parent can drop it off. If none of these solutions are possible, I must hear directly from you before the deadline.

Communicators

Principled

IB Assessments (those that will be submitted to IB to count as part of your diploma) are due by the deadline NO MATTER WHAT! For these assessments, we are working with IB regulations, NOT HHS or HCPS regulations. If some dire emergency happens, then no matter what, you must contact Mrs. Biddle immediately, so that she can secure permission from IB for you to reschedule your assessment. Failure to meet that deadline and failure to contact Mrs. Biddle could result in the loss of your diploma. DO NOT decide for yourself that your excuse is good enough! Mrs. Biddle must make that call in accordance with IB regulations! For English, the IB assessment to which this rule applies is the Oral Commentary and Interview (scheduled in January).

Extra or additional credit which is rarely offered - will not be accepted late for any reason. That means if you are out sick, you must get extra credit to school in your absence. Extra credit is extra; you can earn an A without doing any extra creditthe regular credit assignments are more important.

Knowledgeable

Balanced

Reflective

Make up work is due depending on when it was assigned.

If you are absent on a due date, any summative assessment (major project or essay) is due by the deadline, regardless of your absence.

Regular homework assignments that were due in hard copy on the day you were absent are due at the beginning of the next class when you are back. I do not expect you to come to school to hand in an assignment due while you are sick.

Regular homework assignments that were due to turnitin.com should be submitted on time; however, if there is some reason you cannot do that, you must email the assignment to me with an explanation of WHY you could not submit it electronically on time. (Electronic submission does not require you to come to school to turn something in).

If you are absent on a test day, you should expect to make up the test in class on the day of your return.

Assignments that are announced for the first time in your absence will be due a week from the day of your return to get your work in to me. (Since most work is announced on the syllabus at the beginning of the unit, this will almost never apply.)

Work assigned in advance of your absence, however, does not necessarily merit an extension unless you negotiate it.

If you are absent for a week or more, or if there are extenuating circumstances to your absence and return, an extension of the deadlines may be negotiated. Keep me informed.

Knowledgeable

Communicators

Reflective

Keep grades in perspective: no grade is an indicator of your personal worth. You are developing skills; in the process of developing them, you will sometimes produce an effort that is less than perfect. This does not mean that you are a failure as a person. Try not to obsess over grades.

Plan ahead. Think about whether you need to make any special arrangements to get your work turned in on time. Is the assignment due electronically? Do you have Internet at home? Do you need to arrive at school early so that you can submit your work on time? Do you need to take your work to the library or to a friend's house in order to submit it? Do you need to negotiate an alternate deadline? Do it in advance!

Thinkers

Principled

Plan ahead, part 2: Think about what you need when you need it. If a printed copy of an assignment is due at the beginning of class, it must be printed prior to class. I will not excuse you to go print. Print your work at home or get to school early enough to print. (Since you are now limited to the number of copies you can make at school in any given month, then you will have to think more about how to get your files printed.) Your printer being out of ink is not an excuse. If your printer is out of ink, arrange to print at a friend's house or at the library. If all else fails, bring a hand-written copy of your work to class. This must be completed in advance and is subject to the same deadlines and penalties. No class time will be given for writing

the assignment out.

Plan ahead, part 4: Arrive in class with hard copy assignments ready to turn in when you walk in the door. Work that is to be turned in in hard copy is due at the beginning of class, preferably before the bell. I normally allow approximately one minute leeway. Please do not test my patience or late work policy by arriving tardy to class because you were printing your assignment. This will not go well.

Knowledgeable

Work that is completed in class will be submitted as instructed. Some in-in class work will be submitted electronically and some in hard copy. Some will be due during the period; some will be completed for homework and turned in by the next class. Pay attention to my instructions.

Knowledgeable

Communicators

Be proactive so you can produce evidence: Its a good idea to keep all your completed and/or graded work, including emails with work attached. Keep all emails from me which document special circumstances and extensions. Keep track of your attendance record. No changes will be made to grades in the gradebook unless you can produce the evidence demonstrating that the change is warranted. If you have no evidence, then the grade in the gradebook will be presumed to be correct.

Laptops are to remain closed at all times, unless I specifically instruct you to get them out. There are several reasons for this: the idea that we are capable of effective multi-tasking is a myth which has been debunked numerous times through research. Here is one of many articles which document the problem: http://www.forbes.com/sites/douglasmerrill/2012/08/17/why-multitasking-doesnt-work/#2e016ae57b2f. Google multitasking problem and you will find many others. An open computer is a temptation to multi-task, and, inevitably, what is on the computer becomes more important, mentally and psychologically speaking, than what is going on in the room. (TOK students: you should be familiar with this problem from your study of selective attention.)

All notes are to be taken by hand in your composition notebook, with the exception of direct annotation of texts. The reason for this is that there is a great deal of research that establishes the inefficacy of using laptops to take notes. Here is an article from Scientific American which details the problem: http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/a-learning-secret-don-t-take-notes-with-a-laptop/ and another one from NPR: http://www.npr.org/2016/04/17/474525392/attention-students-put-your-laptops-away. Google laptop notetaking and you will find a long list of additional articles providing evidence for the fact that retention and understanding are greater when notes are taken by hand.

You are expected to take notes every day, whether I specifically tell you to do so or not. Remember that you are responsible for your own learning. Lectures are not the only source of information, so you should take notes about the content of discussions, films, and activities so that you can remember later what was discussed and investigated. Notetaking during seminars is particularly critical, as it is through seminar that you will learn the literature that you need to know for your IB assessments. You will often be required to show the connection between your notes and your work on essays or other assignments.

I expect you to take notes on every reading assignment. You might be assigned to annotate printed articles, but simply highlighting does not suffice as note-taking. You have had annotation of text as a focus skill during 9th, 10th, and 11th grade and a major pre- and post-assessment skill for each of those year-long courses. Your annotations need to be undertaken as a learning exercise, NOT as a task which you only do because you have to. The two important goals of annotation are: 1) Ensuring that you understand the text while you are reading, and 2) Ensuring that you can do something with the text (discuss it, write about it, explicate it) after you are finished reading. See me if you have any questions about expectations regarding annotating texts.

I expect you to look up unfamiliar in advance of class discussions. You cannot expect to interpret a poem insightfully or effectively if you dont know what every single word meansincluding nuances! For The Great Gatsby and Master Haroldand the boys, you might not need to know every single word, but you will need to know any words which keep you from understanding a sentence as well as any words which are repeated several times.

I expect you to study and/or review your notes once a week, whether or not I tell you or remind you to do so. Studying is an activity in which you review material already covered, research material weve covered in order to gain more information or greater understanding, re-read material weve already read, quiz yourself to check for understanding, re-read and augment your notes, generate a list of questions you need answered, peruse extension or support material, and so on. Studying is an activity you undertake in order to improve the quantity and quality of your learning.

Principled, Balanced

Stay in class the whole period every day. Tasks you need to complete for purposes other than this class need to be taken care of at other times. You will be issued three hall passes per nine weeks. These may not be used for printing or to go to any other teachers class. Choose to use them when you absolutely must, or save them for the somewhat rare opportunity of earning extra credit. If you have to leave the room, and you dont have/cannot find a pass to use, you will forfeit the opportunity to turn in any remaining unused passes for extra credit. If you are sick, and need to go to the nurse, I will write you a pass. (Abuses will result in loss of hall privileges.) If you need privileges other than these for medical reasons, I need to know that, and then I will gladly accommodate. Work through the nurses office to authenticate the need. If you feel that you need to miss my class for someone elses class or to help with an extra-curricular activity scheduled during the day, secure my permission in advance. No other teacher can give you permission to miss my class. If you fail to get my permission, your absence from my class will be unexcused and you will earn a zero for whatever you missed.

Principled

If you dont know something, ask me or look it up. Make sure, however, you use the most reliable sources. You will be provided with a unit syllabus as we start each unit. The syllabus and all assignment materials will be available on Schoology. In the event of changes, I will post the information via Schoology and, where necessary, provide you with an updated syllabus. Consider the reliability of your sourceif someone tells you something, make sure that it jives what with I tell you! You should set your Schoology account up to receive alerts whenever I post an update. If you fail to do so, you are responsible for missing whatever communications you miss, and, if that means you turned work in late or failed to complete some requirement, you will receive the consequent penalty.

Dont be afraid to be wrong! If you only ever offer ideas that you know are right, then you will necessarily not venture into new territory. Learning requires a journey into the unknown.

Being wrong is often evidence of real thinking about possibilities, as opposed to reliance on rote or pat ideas.

Class time is for thinking, not eating. Only water will be permitted in class. (This is actually a school rule, which some teachers may choose to ignore. If other teachers allow you to eat, more power to you. I am not other teachers).There are two main reasons for not allowing food in the classroom, and the first is one you have encountered elsewhere in these policies: selective attention. If you are eating, you are most likely not paying sufficient attention to what is going on in the lesson. Secondly, I understand from other teachers that there is a significant problem with insects, including cockroaches, in our building, and remnants of food draw them in. If you have a medical need to eat during my class, see me so I know, and there will be no problem.

Principled

Balanced

Respect your classmates and their ideas. There will be no ridicule. We may disagree or even disapprove of--or disprove--an assertion but it will be done in a way that respects the dignity of everyone. Disagreement is the pathway to clarification, refinement of ideas, and learning, but ridicule and bullying are the pathway to failed social relations and the development of all sorts of undesirable character traits.

Respect yourself. listen to the language you use when you talk about yourself and your abilities. Self-denigration is as damaging as denigration from others. Being wrong is not a character flaw. If you knew everything already, you would not need to be in school, let alone in a program as difficult as the IB program. If you are only willing to speak up when you know you are right, you can never identify or correct what you think you know but do not.

Control your ability to be comfortable in the learning environment. I do not have control over the temperature in the classroom, so you might want to bring a jacket or a sweater. Turn off or silence cell phones when you enter the classroom, and put them away for the duration of class unless I specifically allow you to use them for a class activity. Please do not complete work for another class during IB English. If you do, I reserve the right to confiscate it.

Be honest at all times. Do your own work. Malpractice will not be tolerated and will be penalized according to HCPS and IB policies, which you have to sign at the beginning of each year. Malpractice comes in many forms other than blatant copying or plagiarizing; for example, uploading a document with an appropriate title on a blank page to get credit for turning something in is dishonest. Missing a deadline and then emailing the teacher that you had technological issues is dishonest. Those assignments as well as assignments, assessments, tests or projects that are accomplished with an unfair advantage or deception will earn a zero.

Sometimes people upload illegal copies of works which are still in copyright to the Internet; you may not use those works.

Conversely, reflect on what character traits you imply you have: if you consistently turn your work in on time? Take proactive steps when youve made a mistake or run into a problem? Ask for help when you need it? Plan ahead and arrange or alternate deadlines when you have to deal with many demands at once?

I can see you before school any day. I am required to be on hall duty from 8:35 onward, so you will always know where to find me before school. Just drop by. You can always come to Warrior Time for extra help or to do make-up work. See me in advance for a pass.
