**I teach TWO SECTIONS of English 8; this page should only be used by my students in periods A and B**. Due to the rotating schedule and double class period, HOMEWORK is ASSIGNED and DUE only when your class meets. Remember that each class meets FOUR TIMES in a rotating week with double periods and FIVE TIMES in a modified week with a Monday, single period schedule. Because each period does not come to class each day in a rotating week, there may be different deadlines. It's imperative to complete assignments and submit them on the due date when your class meets. Please pay close attention to due dates and note that I will include the PERIOD LETTER to help avoid confusion.

**I conduct tutorial on Tuesdays and Thursdays** from 3:20 to 3:45 pm in the 8th grade English room. Please come to seek enrichment or extra help. For regular tutorial, there is a limit of 5 students on a first-come, first-served basis. My colleague, Ms. Breitman, conducts tutorial on Mondays and Wednesdays, and she welcomes my students to attend her tutorials. Review sessions for major assessments will be held in the English classroom, but there is no need to sign up for them.

We will study a variety of texts and address the following year-long essential questions: = = = ASSESSMENTS AND PROJECTS and OPPORTUNITIES: =
 * 1. What forces shape the identity of an individual over time? **
 * 2. How does bias impact a person's life? **

**The English Final Exam, worth 20% of the year-long English grade, is on June 1, 2018. The exam is closed book and worth 100 points. Students will ONLY be permitted to use the provided essay planner on the exam -- no other versions or substitutions will be accepted.**
