| The purpose of homework is to enhance and extend the learning experiences fostered within the classroom. Activities begun in class, designed to challenge and stimulate the students' minds, are continued outside of class as students progress and mature intellectually within the academic setting and the world in general.
Each student will be required to do the following types of homework assignments:
Each student is required to work independently, submitting only his or her work. Students may be asked to worked collaboratively on occasion, but generally students will be submitting only their original work. Students are expected to maintain an academic assignment book, wherein records will be kept denoting assigned work (including dates due, page numbers, author's name, etc.). The instructor will write assignments on the board and post them on the APA website. Parents may assist their children with assignments, but only as observers and in a cursory manner. Remember the Learning Process: "Think it; do it; fix it!" No late work will be accepted and students will not receive points for assignments not completed. Students may be permitted to extend deadlines due to illness and excused absences, but only with the written permission of a parent. Required materials for English II/IV include a pocket dictionary and thesaurus, a composition book and pens (no pencils). Also, the instructor recommends a three-ring notebook for maintaining and organizing notes, homework and handouts. |
