Whitefish Bay High School English Department
English Department Basic Requirements and Expectations
· All English students should have a 3-ringed binder with loose-leaf paper in which to organize their course material.
· All work submitted must be either typed or on loose-leaf paper (paper torn from a spiral notebook with ragged edges is not acceptable).
· All typed materials must be double spaced with an inch margin with a heading in the upper left corner (name, class period, date).
· Any submitted work (especially late work) must be physically handed to your English teacher and not merely left on your teacher’s desk in the English office; if he/she is not available, give it to another English teacher who will sign it, note the time and date, and give it to your English teacher.
· Students will be required to submit all formal essays to turnitin.com; your individual teachers will inform you of your course passwords and will provide guidelines and deadlines for submission with each essay.
· Failure to submit essays to turnitin.com will result in withheld essay grades and further disciplinary action.
· The results of turnitin.com for each essay will only be available to your classroom teacher unless the essay merits disciplinary action, in which case school administrators may see results. Students will not be issued a copy of the results.
Department Standards
Each student must meet qualitative as well as quantitative standards to pass a course. For example, in writing classes, students must complete every major writing assignment at a passing quality to pass the course. In literature classes, all major tests and writing assignments must be completed.
