You or your parent/guardian, must e-mail me before 8 p.m. or send a note explaining why HW is not done. There will be no loss of credit if this is done. === === If you do not have your HW in on time, you may be able to receive partial credit when turned in. You will LOSE 10 POINTS for each day late!!! It is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to show me the missing work to receive any credit! ===

 * Every unit has vocabulary words and literary terms that the students will need to know and be responsible for on tests.
