Classroom rules/expectations/sharing for new semesters
- 2. How do you feel about starting a new semester? What emotions do you experience?
- 3. IN OUR ENGLISH CLASS ... We are a team. We respect each other. We speak English in class. We listen respectfully while others are talking. We raise hands before speaking. We always follow our teacher’s directions. We take risks. We learn from mistakes. We say hi, please, and thank you. We use good manners, no bad words. We work hard and have fun.
- 4. ENGLISH HOMEWORK POLICY Any homework is due when next class begins. If your work is assigned on Managebac, make sure you check the submission deadline and submit your work on time. If you are absent it is your responsibility to make up the missing homework. Any work that is not finished in class needs to be taken home for completion. Be sure to inform the teacher in advance if you require an extension. If you fail to turn in your homework on time: - 1st time: verbal warning - 2nd time: warning on MB/catch-up session (during morning break) - 3rd time: email to parents

- 8. DIFFERENT OPINIONS Sara: "I don't think success can be defined by just one thing, it's different for everyone. For me, success is being able to do what I love every day without worrying about money or what others think." John: "Success to me means reaching your goals, no matter how big or small. It's about pushing yourself and not giving up when things get tough." Lucy: "I always wanted to run a marathon but never thought I could, but I trained hard and finally crossed that finish line." Mary: "I'm not sure what success means to me yet. Sometimes I feel like I should have a clear plan and goals, but other times I just want to live in the moment and see where life takes me." Betty: "Right now, I'm studying art in college, but who knows if that will lead to a successful career or not. I'm still figuring it out." Tom: "Ugh, success is such a loaded word. It feels like there's so much pressure to achieve something amazing all the time. Can't we just be happy with who we are and not worry about success?" Meg: "I used to work a job I hated just to make enough money to survive, but now I have my own business doing what I'm passionate about." What does success mean to you? How do you define success in your own life?
