Spring Semester Syllabus for ERWC
Syllabus for Spring Semester ERWC
Important Dates for EWRC:
Final Draft - Monday, December 4
Project Log - Thursday, February 15
Slides - Friday, February 23
Presentation - Thursday, March 1
The focus of the class will be two fold: one area of focus will be on the physical project, the project logs, the slides and the senior presentation.
The second area of focus, of equal importance, is on the literary and writing aspect of the class.
Each day in class the concentration will be on the reading, the writing, and the group and individual projects which will focus on the literature. We will be reading two very important books in class. They are Brave New World by Aldous Huxley and 1984 by George Orwell. You will be expected to keep a reading log on each of these two books. Assignments will be given on the reading and the due dates will be strictly adhered to. All work must be typed and submitted to schoology and/or turnitin.com. LATE WORK WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.
We will also be concentrating on increasing vocabulary and improving our writing skills. Each week, the class will be assigned vocabulary work out of the book Vocabulary Workshop, Level F, and grammar from various sources. All work must be typed and submitted to schoology and/or turnitin.com.
Plagiarism is a serious offense for it is both lying and theft – taking credit for another’s work and claiming it as one’s own and it is theft of another’s work. Any work that is identified as plagiarized will not be accepted, the student will receive a fail on the assignment, and the parents and the college counselor will be notified. The student will not be given the opportunity to redo the assignment.
Group and individual Projects: 50%
Daily Work: 30%
Home Work: 10%
Participation: 10%
Cooperation, participation, and respectful behavior are important ingredients to a successful classroom. Failure to follow class protocol may result in a lowered grade and an unsatisfactory mark on the report card.
