D. Newspaper Summaries. Usually there will be 3 grades for each newsarticle summary; the oral presentation, open notebook quiz and written summary. There will be approximately 4 news article summary assignments each quarter.

III. Basic Class Rules

A. Do not interrupt anyone by calling out.

C. Always come to class prepared with pen, notebook, and loose-leaf paper.

Keep this paper in the back of your notebook at all times.
