=Extra Help = If at any time you need assistance with an assignment, reading or homework, please come to see me and we can schedule a time that works for both of us. It is IMPORTANT for you to come to see me when you start to fall behind or get confused. If you wait too long, you will make it very difficult for yourself to catch up. I am available before and after school every day.

=Rules for Written Assignments = When you are assigned any composition of significant length (out-of-class essays, papers, etc.), you must adhere to MLA format unless otherwise stated. That includes:
 * Size 12 Times New Roman font

 * A creative title centered below the header (no bold, underline, or itlalics unless referencing a published work)

 * .5-inch indentations at the beginning of each paragraph
