DISCLOSURE PRESENTATIONAKA: How to act “right" in

English 12

The reasons I’m a nice teacher…in disguise... My children would prefer that I keep their identities incognito

About Me…• I’ll tell you some everyday

information that you don’t hear just every day….

• (good review of that concept… everyday is one word because why?)

SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST: THE FOUR RULES

• BE RESPONSIBLE-----Work Hard• BE HONEST----• BE NICE----

• BE CLASSY ----

BE CLASSY

Only LADYLIKE and GENTLEMANLY behavior will

be welcome/toleratedat all times

Interpretation Is:

DO NOT BE:

RUDE, CRUDE,or LEWD!

This is my limit of “crude”Photo by my oldest daughter, Karen…

Any Incident Involving the following rules results in a 20

point deduction to your grade…each time it occurs.

SUBJECTS NOT OPEN TO DISCUSSION OR TO WRITING:

• Criticism or complaining about administrators or other teachers.

• ANYTHING sexual/ homosexual.• Negative LABELS about people…”He’s a

_____”or “she’s a ________ “(This includes using these in conversation about someone in my classroom).

• NO INNUENDOS…you are saying something inappropriate without really saying it.

• ABSOLUTELY NO SWEARING!

THE BOTTOM LINE IS:DON’T MESS WITH ME ON ANY OF THOSE THINGS BECAUSE I WILL NAIL YOU BEFORE YOU’LL KNOW

WHAT HIT YOU.

REMEMBER….act/talk like ladies and gentlemen.

BE NICE

Entertainment Break:THE EUROPEAN “ZOO”

EXPERIENCE:

You have heard about countries without borders, well, this is a

reserve without cages….

Introducing, the Moroccan monkeys of ROCAMADOR, France!

They roam freely and take popcorn out of your hand…

While you worry that their friend is going to drop down on your head out of the tree which shades you…

They eat more…

And more…

Unless they’re full… no…just insulted that…

You weren’t offering big enough pieces…(no joke…)

Over 100 monkeys roam the reserve freely.

Munching away….

Day after day…

• If you are absent one day, you have one day to finish your assignments for full credit.

• Take care of yourself by taking care of your responsibilities…The responsible people are always happier.

• Long-term projects/papers must be handed in on the due date. Send them with a friend or have your parents bring it to school.
