11 Classroom Rules 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
CLASSROOM PROCEDURE/EXPECTATIONS 12A ENTERING CLASS Line up in straight line on the lockers so that hallway traffic can flow. Enter class quietly, no talking, go to your seat. If you need to sharpen your pencil, do it when you first enter class, one at a time. Read the board objectives, get your materials out, and then immediately and silently do your warm-up. Materials captains will pass out any papers. Entering class is time to get to work immediately, not a time to visit for a while with a classmate. If you finish early, go to the makeup work center, read a library book, or do left-side journal reflections. LEFT SIDE REFLECTIONS On left side of journal, write max of 140 characters (Twitter style, includes spaces and punctuation) This is a summary of what you have learned from the previous lesson. WARM-UP Your warm-up is on the board and will be in the same place every day. See Entering Class procedure. Sometimes the warm-up assignment will be written in your journal, sometimes on paper or cards that are given to you. If paper or card, you will pass these in when instructed. Unless told specifically to discuss with partner there is no talking, whispering, or noise during warm-up. ATTENTION I will use several signals to tell you to come to attention, when I have something to say. When I make the signs that I will teach you, freeze; stop what you re doing, go silent, look at me, and listen. If you have a question, raise your hand silently and wait for me to call on you. Do not shout out "Mr." "Mr." ASSIGNMENT HEADING

18 Who am I? I am your constant companion. I am your greatest helper or heaviest burden. I will push you onward or drag you down to failure. I am completely at your command. Half the things you do you might just as well turn over to me and I will be able to do them quickly and correctly. I am easily managed you must merely be firm with me. Show me exactly how you want something done and after a few lessons I will do it automatically. I am the servant of all great individuals and, alas, of all failures, as well. Those who are great, I have made great. Those who are failures, I have made failures. I am not a machine, though I work with all the precision of a machine plus the intelligence of a human. You may run me for a profit or run me for ruin it makes no difference to me. Take me, train me, be firm with me, and I will place the world at your feet. Be easy with me and I will destroy you. Who am I?
