 \n● to generate original interpretations about literature;  \n● to express these ideas clearly and convincingly in written and oral presentations;  \n● to consider how the many choices authors make shape the meaning of a text;  \n● to develop claims(as a discrete element of a larger thesis statement);  \n·  to outline arguments/analyses complete with supporting ideas,evidence,and commentary;  \n● to make use of smoothly integrated/woven and properly cited quotations as evidence;  \n● to individually practice new words and develop one's working vocabulary;  \n● to use a variety of sentence types(with proper use of conjunctions and punctuation),  \n● to make progress in following the proper conventions of Standard Written English;and  \n●  to develop the attributes of an IB learner.  \n## Classroom Policies\n\nExpectations  \nPlease bring completed assignments and all of the necessary materials to every class meeting.You'llalso want to be mentally prepared;this means you're demonstrating knowledge of the text,contributing to class activities,actively listening to others,and taking intellectual risks on the daily.  \n## Approach\n\nTeaching in this course is driven by critical concepts and fueled by inquiry.The study of literature isrooted in both local and global contexts,and classroom activities are focused on effective teamworkand collaboration.Instruction is informed by diagnostic,formative,and summative assessment whilealso allowing for adaptations to meet the needs ofalllearners.See also“Grades &Measurement”.  \n## Absences\n\nIn the case of a student's absence,it is your (the student's)responsibility to obtain any and allmaterials and information delivered in class during the period of the absence;all class materials willbe available on the course's class website (bentonenglish.com)and Canvas/ManageBac.Due to thenature of the block schedule,please do not wait until the next day class meets to make contact.In thecase of a missed assessment,I generally expect you to make up the assignment the day you return.Youmust take the initiative to arrange a make-up quiz or assignment.If the workis not made up whenscheduled or is not rescheduled after 36 hours,a zero will be given for the missed assignment.  \n## Late Work\n\nAssignments that are turned in one school day late willreceive a 50%-off penalty;work that is turnedin over one school day late will not receive a grade.The exceptions to this rule are some long-termassignments for which 10-40%(with the percentage steadily increasing throughout the year)will bededucted for each late day.In the case of extenuating circumstances (e.g.illness,personal problems),please contact me so I can determine the best course of action:keep me in the loop by proactivelycommunicating so that I can be flexible to your needs.I’m a creature of mercy and am ready to extendgrace at amoment’s notice.  \n## Academic Honesty\n\nStudents are expected to complete all assignments without the assistance of others unless I explicitly provide writtenpermission for collaboration on a s","cbCaitoGyTNVFKGV","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitoGyTNVFKGV","pdf",1785277,"English","# Course Description\n## Classroom Policies\n## Approach\n## Absences\n## Late Work\n## Academic Honesty\n## Submitting Assignments\n## Necessary Supplies\n## Texts","[{\"question\":\"What skills does Pre-IB English 2 aim to build?\",\"answer\":\"Students develop analytical reading and writing skills, including interpretation, evaluation, argument outlining, and clear written and oral presentation of ideas.\"},{\"question\":\"What is expected when a student is absent?\",\"answer\":\"Students must obtain all materials and information delivered during the absence from the course website and Canvas/ManageBac, and arrange make-up work for any missed assessment on returning.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the rules for late work and academic honesty?\",\"answer\":\"Late work receives a 50% penalty for one school day late and no grade for more than one school day late, with exceptions for extenuating circumstances.
