Welcome to our class blog! I hope this site will help you give and get ideas for creating your own art projects as well as collaborative projects with other artists (your classmates). Your homework assignments will be posted here and you can post completed assignments in the comments section of that post, if a response is required. Also, please respond to the class question on the top right side of the page for extra credit. Use the links, ideas and other resources on this page to get good ideas or go ahead and share your own! But most important, MAKE ART FUN!

Learning Strategies (Study Hall) Disclosure Document

SALEM HILLS HIGH SCHOOL
Course Description: 
The Empowerment Time for Academics course is designed to provide time for students to complete homework assignments from other classes.  In addition, students will be taught helpful study skills that will help them become more proficient students.  The students will have access to one-on-one help from their instructor as time permits.  Instructors will do their best to help students, but instructors will not do homework for the students.
Student Expectations:
1.        (1pt) Students will be in class and on time every day.  (after 2 excused absences an administrator conference will be called to assess the situation)
2.       (1pt) Students will be prepared with something to do, homework, reading book, etc.
3.       (1 pt) Students will follow teacher’s individual classroom rules.
4.       (1pt) Students will work the entire class period.
5.       (1 pt) Students will behave in a respectful manner in all associations.
It will be expected that students will come to class prepared to work on homework or study current course material every day for the entire class period.  If they have no homework to work on or nothing to study, it is expected that they will have a reading book which they will read the entire class period.  By meeting the above expectations a student is showing they need and properly use this time wisely.  When a student refuses to meet these expectations and receive a grade lower than a C in this ETA class for their final grade, they will need to find another class.  Showing up with work to do is the main purpose for this time.
Grading:
Student’s grades in this class will be determined by adherence to the Student Expectations, failure to comply with these rules will result in the loss of Daily Points.  There will be 1pt per expectation every day.  Students will receive a letter grade based on the following grade scale:
A             94-100%                               A-           90-93%
B+           87-89%                                 B             84-86%                                 B-            80-83%
C+           77-79%                                 C             74-76%
Lower than 73% will result in removal from the class or a failing grade.
Hall Passes:
Students may need to work on assignments in the computer labs, this will be allowed.  The student will be given a hall pass which must be returned to the instructor when the student has completed their work for the day.  Prior to leaving the lab the lab assistant must sign the hall pass, and comment on the student’s behavior while in the lab.  Abuse of the Empowerment Time Hall Pass will result in the loss of hall passes for that student.
