Class Work

Heading Papers

• Name Date

• Subject Topic

Pen or Pencil

• Always use pencil unless checking work

• Have students sharpen at least 2 pencils in the morning and again after lunch. Don’t allow to sharpen during class (Causes disruptions)

Legibility

• I try to encourage students to write in their best handwriting. If I can’t read it I mark it wrong.

Paper-front/back- use both sides

Incomplete papers

• Finish during their own time or free time

Late papers

• I accept papers late if they were absent only.

Missed Work

• When a student is absent I have a folder on their desk. When passing out papers I always have a student sitting near them collect a set for them and put it in the folder.

• When student returns they begin working as soon as they are unpacked for the day. I usually have student go in the hallway and work until it is complete unless there is a test to be given or another important assignment they shouldn’t miss out on.

No Name Papers

• To prevent this I have students highlight their name as they turn in papers to help remind them to write their name. However, I do get no name papers so I just go through and see whose paper I don’t have yet.
