10 things you need to know to Succeed in Honors L.A

Don't procrastinate- The biggest thing I can tell you is DO NOT procrastinate it is the
worst thing you could do. Make sure you don't do your blog post and writing contest the day
before I've done it before and it is not fun.

Pay Attention- You need to pay attention during class because in honors you have to
do the newspaper and stuff like that so Mrs Robins needs to teach the regular material fast
and if you don’t pay attention you will be lost.  

Turn your work in on time- This is important because when you turn things in
late you get docked points. Over time those docked points start adding up and really affect
your grade.

Read- You need to read a certain amount of books each trimester so it's important to read
and get it over with. There's also a IRead party at the end of the year if you read 36 books.
The party is really fun, so make sure to read!

Always be prepared- You need to make sure you are always prepared. If you are
in honors you need to get ready for homework.That work that needs to be done at home
needs to be done by that day or she will dock points. Also you will have to sit in the hall to
finish it. Not fun.

Cheek the blog and your email- Every day make sure to check your email.
She will send you important things by email. I personally missed the memo for a few events
because I didn’t check my email so learn from my mistake. You also need to check
Mrs.Robins blog at least every Monday to know what's happening in her class and always
be checking the writing blog for more contests.

Ask questions- Don't be afraid to ask questions. You don't want to be that student
that just sits there and doesn’t get any work done because they didn’t know what to do.
She's not going to get mad at you for just asking a question. She doesn’t bite!

Keep up your grades-  Make sure to constantly be checking power school. You
need to keep your grades up to stay in honors. If you have a bad grade you can be kicked
out. Also it's just a thing you should be doing in general not just Language Arts. Check your
grades for other classes also.

Be nice- You need to be nice to your fellow classmates, you will be working with them
everyday for a whole school year. Your teachers, you need to appreciate the teachers you
have in seventh grade because they are the best teachers in the whole school. Last
Mrs Robins, she does so much for everyone and you need to appreciate how awesome
she is.

Have Fun- Lastly have fun! I know school isn’t the ideal way to have fun but make
something out of it. We also get to do super fun stuff like the newspaper and activities that
the other classes don't get to do.  Although this is an Honors class and it will be hard and
stressful at times have a good attitude.
