Tutorials:

Mondays and Thursdays 3:10-4:15 or by appointment. Students are welcome to come for tutorials during 4th, 5th, and 7th periods, too.

Books for the fall  semester:

English IV Dual Credit students will need to rent or purchase the 12th edition of The Bedford Reader for English 1301. The ISBN numbers are as follows:

ISBN-10: 1457636956

Students have been able to find The Bedford Reader for rent or purchase at the HCC bookstore at the Spring Branch and Katy campuses, as well as Amazon.com.

Mrs. Sharp’s English IV AP students will need the following books (paperback or electronic versions are fine) for the fall semester:

*If you are a GT student and read Great Expectations with Mrs. Briggs, please choose one of the other two novels.

Remind, Edmodo, and Turnitin.com codes will be available in class on the first day of school and thereafter. English IV AP/GT and dual credit students are expected to complete selected assignments using  and submit essays and study questions on Turnitin.com for an originality score of 10% or less. Students should resubmit documents on Turnitin.com before the due date if it receives a higher originality score than required.  

Any in-class assignments that are missed due to excused absences can be made up during my tutorial times or Thursday after school with the appointed English teacher (teachers are on a rotating schedule for department make-ups, so please check with me first).  Out-of-class assignments are due one class period (per the number of my classes missed) upon returning from an excused absence.

Assignments worth a daily grade that are late (not due to an excused absence) are not accepted and will result in a zero.  Assignments worth a major or quiz grade will be deducted 10 points per calendar day when late.

Tutorials are Mondays and Thursdays after school until 4:00pm or by appointment. 

 All out-of-class assignments must be submitted on Turnitin.com (through Itslearning) with a less than 10% "originality" score. 

Upload your assignments in pdf or Word format on Turnitin.com!  If there is an originality issue, you may resubmit, but it may take 24 hours to process the resubmission so turn in the work ahead of time if possible.

 Due dates are listed on my three week calendars under Resources for both AP and Dual Credit. Changes will be listed below.
