I Didn’t Do My Homework Because• I didn’t do my history homework because I don’t believe
in dwelling on the past.• I didn’t want the other kids in the class to look bad.• A sudden gust of wind blew it out of my hand and I never
saw it again.• Another pupil fell in a pool and I jumped in to rescue him.
Unfortunately, my homework drowned. • I’m not at liberty to say why.• I wanted to frame the detention letter you’re about to
give me.• It was destroyed in a freak accident involving a hippo, a
toaster, and a bag of frozen peas. You don’t want to know the details.
I Didn’t Do My Homework Because• My mom used it as a dryer sheet.• I lost it fighting this kid who said you weren’t the best
teacher in the school.• I was abducted by green-skinned, three-eyed, pig-
snouted space aliens and they incinerated my homework with their death rays.
• I felt it wasn’t challenging enough.• My parents were sick, and unable to do my
homework last night. • I didn’t want to add to your already heavy
workload.• I spent the night at a rally supporting higher
pay for our hard-working teachers.
Assignments• Tests will be announced at least one
week before.• Projects, between 3 to 15 school
days to complete.• An assignment is considered incomplete
(unacceptable) if it is unable to receive 60% of the points possible, and must be completed satisfactorily to receive credit.
• Incomplete, late, and missing assignments may also lower a student’s citizenship grade. If excessive, citizenship grade will drop to a 3 or 4.
Assignments• MUST have a proper MLA heading (full name, SS/period,
date, and assignment title). • Writing MUST be legible and neat in pencil or ink (blue or
black only)• Papers MUST be turned in neatly, not torn or crumpled; if
folded, only once.• Use only loose leaf lined paper, NO half sheets or spiral
torn.• Staple papers with only ONE staple in the top left corner.• NO unnecessary or inappropriate graffiti or doodling.• Answers MUST be reasonable and complete.• Not following any of the above may result in losing
points on the assignment.
