Expectations
Welcome to English 7 *   Ms. Crandall  *  Fall 2008


Course Description:
This is a genre based English course that includes a spelling bee, speech contest, and preparation for the MCA test.  

Units for Grade 7 English:
Unit 1:  Individual Identity- Memoir
Unit 2: Short Story
Unit 3: Poetry
Unit 4: Novel- The Outsiders/ Critical Essay on theme

• Materials:
1.    One spiral notebook
2.    A pocket folder for English work only in your binder.
3.    A pencil to bring to class every day (pens, colored pencils, or markers if you choose)
4.    Reading material for St. Paul Reads

• Homework:  I plan to give HOMEWORK every week.  This will be a writing assignment or a worksheet that will be due the next day.  If you are absent, make sure you get the weekly homework assignment from me, I might not remember!
St. Paul Reads- We will also keep tack of finished books on a reading log in class.

• Behavior: I expect you to come to class ready to learn! Show “above the line” behavior, and it will not be a problem.  For disruptive or negative behavior in class, students will be assigned detention (this may be before or after school).  If the student does not attend detention, I will contact parents and send the student’s name to the school administrator for further consequences.  If behavior is chronic or severe, parents will be contacted immediately or student will be set to ISD (in school detention).

• Parents:  I hope to meet you at conferences or other school activities this year.  In the meantime, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me via email at jamie.crandall@spps.org or leave a message at 651-293-8862 ext 1010.
