Welcome to the 11th grade!

This year, you will do your first English Bagrut in May. How exciting!

During the year, you will WRITE a lot, READ a lot, and TALK a lot in English. 

You will take an active part in the learning process so that you not only learn the skills that you need in order to pass your Bagrut exam, but you also improve your ability to use English as a second language. 

In previous years, you spent a lot of time learning and practicing grammar rules. This year, you will put all that knowledge to use whenever you complete and assignment or do a presentation for the class.

Rules:

General Behavior
1. Since class time is for learning, use the breaks and not class time to do the following:
    a. Use the bathroom.
   b. Talk with your friends, teachers or parents in person, on the phone or otherwise.
   c. Take things to your friends, teachers or parents.
   d. Get things from your friends, teachers or parents.
   e. Eat food and drink liquids other than water.
2. Do not chew gum.
3. During the lesson your phone cannot be seen, heard or used – as a watch, translator, note-taker,
message sender or anything else.
4. Bring long sleeves, even if it’s 35°C outside. The air conditioning will always be on. Do not
complain about the air conditioner.
5. Be at your seat with the materials out at the start of the lesson. There is no coming into class
after me. If are in class and in your seat on time, but you have to leave class to get your materials, you will be considered as tardy.
6. Do NOT talk when someone else is talking.
7. Do not laugh at, make fun of or insult other students for any reason.
8. Wait until I am done explaining something before asking questions.
9. Participation in class is MANDATORY. “I don’t know”, “I don’t want to” are not
participation.
10. Homework is to be 100% completed at home and by the due date. Failure to do either or both
will mean a drop in your grade. “I didn’t understand the question or exercise” or "I wasn't in class so I didn't know about the assignment" are not acceptable excuses for not doing homework.
11. Check your Mashov and messages DAILY!
You can contact me on the Mashov. I check the Mashov daily.
