In this class, we will review what was covered in students' English classes and I will assist students with whatever other subjects they need help in.
Students' grades will be based primarily on one thing: Completing Daily Bell-ringers
Other grades will come from random activities, and possibly quarter tests.
Students will also be given time to work on homework and assignments from other classes.

Bell-Ringer
Everyday students are expected to come in and work on a Bell-Ringer, which will take them approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Once completed, they are then to work on homework or other assignments. I will be around to help them.
ASSESSMENT ALERT: Twice a quarter, students will have an open binder test, which will cover everything we have ever done with the binder. Here is a copy of the Spring Semester Bell-Ringer Binder
There are four section to the binder:

Quarterly ProjectEach quarter, students will have a mini-project that will work on their reading, writing, listening, and speaking ability. The projects should be completed during within the first three weeks of the quarter, and I will remind students of this fact.
ASSESSMENT ALERT: The second quarter project is either:
The comic book page review would be the easier choice for students, and we will do most of it in class. Books
Students don't seem to get a lot of homework the first few weeks, so we will be reading a book to start the year.
ASSESSMENT ALERT: Every quarter students will need to read and share a book with a class. They may create a presentation, write a short essay, or some other project of their choosing. Graded Students' Papers
After students have a written paper returned to them by their English teacher, the student and I will review the paper to see why they may have missed some points, and how to correct those mistakes for future writings.
