Parent-Teacher Communication <br />A. If you wish to contact me, please do so through the Houston ISD E-mail as listed on the Bellaire High School website. (<a href="mailto:pedaburn@houstonisd.org">pedaburn@houstonisd.org</a>) <br />B. There is also a connection in the Bellaire High School website to the blog : <br />cpgeography.blogspot.com <br /> <br /> <br />II. Required Supplies (to be brought to class everyday) <br />A. One and half (1½”) inch binder <br />B. 5 dividers (per semester) <br />C. Map colors (pencils) <br />D. Fine point black pen <br />E. 3 different colored highlighters <br />F. Geography Alive textbook (issued by the school) <br />G. Composition book (9¾” x 7½”) <br />H. Notebook paper <br />I. Geography Alive textbook provided by school <br /> <br />III. Class Rules <br />A. Please be prepared for class, ready to work, and in your seat by the tardy bell. <br />B. Respect each other with common courtesy. <br />C. Remain on task by participating actively and listening attentively. <br />D. Complete and submit homework assignments on time. <br />E. Raise your hand and wait to be acknowledged before speaking. <br />F. New procedures may be added to the list at the teacher’s discretion. <br /> <br />IV. Grading Policy <br />A. The student’s grades will consist of five main components: <br />1. Binder- containing assignments, notes, and maps, graded on a regular basis <br />2. Essays- one formal essay per six weeks – including argumentative essays, cause &amp; effect essays, comparative essays, DBQ essays, research essay. <br />3. Quizzes- one quiz per week evaluating learning and class involvement <br />4. ID Journal – contains quick writes and short 15min. planned writes <br />5. Tests- a unit test evaluating comprehension, analysis, and synthesis of material <br /> <br />B. If a binder is lost, the student will be allowed to make up as many assignments as possible <br />before the binder assessment deadline. The student should be sure to take care <br />of his/her binder. <br />C. Failure to present an assignment or essay will result in a grade of zero, and will severely <br />affect the student’s final grade. <br /> <br />V. Make-up work <br />After an absence all assignments, tests, and quizzes must be made up within 5 days, or within a time period deemed reasonable by the teacher. Please encourage your student to make up work as quickly as possible. <br /> <br />VI. Intervention <br />Any student failing or in danger of failing, at the midway point or end of a six-week grading period, will be required to attend tutorials on a Monday at lunch for the following three weeks. These tutorials are mandatory and failure to attend will result in disciplinary action. I am determined to give each of my students the opportunity to succeed. Please support me in my efforts. </div> <br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6306046457964910798-2218270781434422815?l=cpgeography.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>College Prep.Geography Classnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6306046457964910798.post-12771342715595929902011-08-19T15:02:00.001-07:002011-08-19T15:07:35.666-07:00<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Xe6EcBfCW-o/Tk7eSY9XWMI/AAAAAAAAAKo/TkJJoqijUfk/s1600/cardinal.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5642691790660655298" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 117px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 110px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Xe6EcBfCW-o/Tk7eSY9XWMI/AAAAAAAAAKo/TkJJoqijUfk/s400/cardinal.jpg" border="0" /></a> <br /> <br /><div><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">Welcome to College Prep World Geography</span></strong></div> <br /><div><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;"></span></strong></div> <br /><div><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">Please see below for letter to Supply List.</span></strong></div> <br /><div><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;"></span></strong></div> <br /><div><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">I am looking forward to a fabulous year learning about the </span></strong></div> <br /><div><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">world with you.</span></strong></div> <br /><div><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;"></span></strong></div> <br /><div><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">Ms. Edaburn</span></strong></div> <br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6306046457964910798-1277134271559592990?l=cpgeography.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>College Prep.Geography Classnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6306046457964910798.post-672290084314805242011-03-22T08:39:00.000-07:002011-03-22T08:43:37.782-07:00<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-C5JAYrpdUYI/TYjDoGe3d8I/AAAAAAAAAKA/U7keTbyem_Q/s1600/UK_TG.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5586930431455360962" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 210px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-C5JAYrpdUYI/TYjDoGe3d8I/AAAAAAAAAKA/U7keTbyem_Q/s320/UK_TG.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>The following is areally useful link that will enable you to follow the world press by viewing the front pages of newspapers from around the world.
