English 9 honors Class Expectations

In an efficient class, there has to be a sense of cooperation, respect, and the willingness to work hard. Students should try and give their best , with the help of their instructor. Good teachers are those worthy of respect: they rise above the students in academics and behavior, and bring those they are teaching up to their level. They are also ready to help when their students need, but they do not do the work for them. Good students are those with character traits such as responsibility, integrity, humility, confidence, and diligence. They should help their peers learn, instead of preventing them from it. Their attitude should be one of a learner. A good student will cooperate with their teacher to get the best education possible. A good class is one that works together as a whole and builds each other up: academically and socially. Since this class is an honors class, I expect it to be challenging, so I hope to work up to the level of difficulty and still make good grades. I expect I will sometimes be stressed when big assignments are put into the picture, but I will take them as they come, and try and do my best. Feedback from students who have taken her class, and from my own short experience, I honestly expect Smith to significantly improve my english skills. All in all, I believe this year of English will be a tough one, but I will do my best and look forward to how much i will grow with the help of my classmates and my teacher.
