CONTACT AND WEBSITE:
The best/quickest way to contact Ms. Naylor is through school email at: [email protected] Helpful information about upcoming class assignments, due dates, worksheets, links, etc. can be found here on our class website! You can read The Moor Weekly (our school’s student-produced newspaper) online at: themoornewspaper.com REMIND: This year, Ms. Naylor is using the Remind app to send messages (via texts or email) to students and parents/guardians. To join our class remind text the code below to 81010. Period 1: @9h192 HOMEWORK: Most of the homework for English class involves reading at home and annotating (taking notes on) the reading. A copy of the current reading schedule is usually available here on our website. Studying is also required for quizzes, tests, essays, etc. If we take notes in class, students should review the notes at home. Students should also finish at home any work from their binder that they did not finish in class. There are other homework assignments as needed. GRADES: Grades are added to the grade book as promptly as possible. At the very least, all assignments will be up to date at the end of each grading period (with the occasional exception of essays which, by their nature, take longer to grade). All grades are available online via the Family Portal website at: family.ausd.us Blanks in the grade book mean the score has not yet been entered. A zero in the grade book means the assignment was not turned in. Information about points, late work, etc. can be found in our course syllabus (each student has a copy in his/her binder, you can also scroll down for a copy here on our website). CLUBS: I am the adviser for the newspaper club and the Black Student Union. Newspaper meets about once a month on Wednesday. BSU meets Thursdays at lunch. FIRST SEMESTER: (English 1/2H): We are currently reading the play Pygmalion. We recently had a quiz on literary terms and wrote a diagnostic essay based on an article. Next, we will read short stories and begin our first novel (Great Expectations). We will also be choosing our poems for Poetry Out Loud, a poetry recitation competition. More information about our class can be found in our course syllabus and on our class website. Information about Poetry Out Loud can be found at www.poetryoutloud.org SCHOOL INFORMATION Tutoring will begin on campus toward the end of September; check the tutoring schedule (when it is released) for times and locations. I am also available for tutoring, usually at lunch, by appointment. Let’s remind our students to show school spirit - Wednesdays are College Going Culture Days and Fridays are Blue and Gold Fridays! More information about our school can be found at our school website: ahsmoors.org I hope I was able to give you a good idea of how our class works. Feel free to contact me by email if you have any additional questions. I look forward to the rest of this amazing and educational year! Comments are closed.
