ten things for honors LA

1. Don't, I repeat, DO NOT, attempt to work at the last second. It rarely works out and isn't that fun even when it does. Procrastination is one of the worst things for your grade.

2. Even though I don't believe in karma, when you do nice things for people, you feel better and it makes your day a lot better. The same goes for the other way around, so, be a good person.

3.Don't look at the clock. It makes the time take longer. Read a book or do some homework.

4.  Have a good attitude about nearly everything, even when it sucks. Trust me, homework and classwork isn't going to be the hardest part of seventh grade.

5. Bring a snack for when you get writers block.

6. I'm told that teamwork is an important skill. I assume it is. Try it and tell me how it works.

7. Creativity is  appreciated.

9. Always ask question. Unless you understand the topic. Then don't...

10. Never be content. Striving is a lot more fun in the end than just sitting around being content at where you are.

Ten things you need to know about honors language arts!

1. Never procrastinate!
When you are in honors I just want to tell you, you will have a lot of work. When you procrastinate
you will just keep piling up the work. Also, you forget about it and then you turn it in late.

2.  Turn your work in on time!
In honors you ned to turn your work in on time. If you dont you will lose points and your grade will
drop.

3. Always check the blog!
Mrs. Robins will always be giving updates on the blog. She also sometimes gives robins rewards or
gecko cards if you read it the night before.

4. Listen to directions! 
Sometimes assignments might be confusing, so always listen to directions closely!

5.  Ask questions if confused!
Sometimes even if you listen to directions closely, they can still be a littke confusing. So always ask
questions. Mrs. Robins is happy to answer any questions. It will also clear up your confusion.

6. Pay attention!
Even though you may think it is boring at times, always pay attention! If you dont you could miss
a really important annmouncement or how to do something!

7.  Do blog posts early!
If you do blog posts early you will most of the time recieve a gecko card or something. Also, you
have it done so you dont have to worry about it for the whole month.

8.  Mrs. Robins is a great teacher!
Mrs. Robins is so nice and will help you get any late work in. Even though she might doc you a
point or two for being late she is always willing to help.

9. Read, Read, Read!
In Mrs. Robins class it is a lot about reading. She will sometimes give you prizes if you read the night
 before. Also if you get into the iread you get a t shirt king size candy and a ticket to a huge party at
the end of the year. P.S. the party is awesome!

10. Always, Always, Always have fun!
Even though it may seem very stressful at times, it is just school and you still get to do fun things.
      1. Never procrastinate, that was one that was one of my biggest problems and it
 costs severely. Your grade can go from an A to an NP in a week, so make sure 
you keep on turning things in. 

      2. Turn things in no matter what, even if it's late, it's better than nothing at all.
 Don't just stop doing it because the due date is past. 

      3. Try to enjoy the class. It doesn't have to be your favorite, but still try to enjoy
 it.
 
       4. Be nice to your teacher. This is one of the most important things, keep up
 good relations with your teacher, and they'll really enjoy you as a student.

       5. Do your writing contests, they're worth a lot of your grade. They might 
seem confusing at first, but you'll get the hang of them!

      6. Do your writing blog, they're also worth a lot of your grade, in my opinion
 they're a lot easier than writing contests and you should be able to finish it pretty easily.

     7. I'd say this is one of the hardest classes for me to take, if you aren't up to take
 honors, I wouldn't, but you can give it a shot if you'd like, it's pretty fun!

    8. Make sure you do your homework before doing anything after school, 
although their might not be a whole lot of homework it piles up fast, so make sure
 you do it as soon as you get home!

   9. Get ready to read a whole lot! I love reading but I find it hard to find books 
I love to read. What you should do is find books you want to read during the
 summer or early on in the year.

   10. You have to do poetry. Good Luck!
