Start of Term Notices

Hello, students and parents! 

       The start of the semester for Advanced Composition is rapidly approaching, and I want to keep you informed from the beginning about my hopes for each of you.  My supreme hope for the students at this point is that everyone arrive to class prepared for edification. The following information will be helpful in achieving this goal.

  • Arrive on time.  (This generally means before class is to officially begin...one second past 10:30 is late.)
  • Bring the following:
    •      pen or pencil (or both if you would like to be an over-achiever)
    •      Prentice Hall Grammar and Writing Textbook 
    •      a three-ring binder with sections for:
      • note-taking (this section ought to include notebook paper)
      • hand-outs
      • course syllabus/ calendar
      • journals
      • personal/ professional research
    •  a writing sample (preferably an essay written during your time served in basic composition)
       I am looking forward to getting to know each of you throughout the course of the year.  Please contact me at mmcneely04@gmail.com if you have any questions or comments. 

Thanks!
Mrs. McNeely
