Consequences for Incomplete Homework

Ladies,



It is quite disappointing to see that so many of you are still disregarding your responsibilities when it comes to completing your English homework.



I have spoken to individuals and the entire class at length, yet, there are still eight students who are behind in their homework blog and an additional eight who, while up to date with set tasks have not posted reading reflections (either for last week or, in some cases, at all).



As we have discussed, you are now in Senior School and it is imperative that you take control of your own learning. I am not setting you homework simply because I want to give you extra work. The items that you are being asked to complete are directly related to the content we are looking at in class and that you need to be familiar with in order to complete your assessment to the highest standard.



Those girls who are not up to date (you will be made aware of who you are in class today) will be attending the library at lunch times until the work is completed to a satisfactory standard.



Girls who are up to date, with the exception of their reading posts, you will also need to go to the library at lunch time today, find a book and make a post that reflects on your novel by no later than tomorrow morning. If you cannot achieve this, you will also spend lunch times in the library catching up on the requirements.



Names of those girls who have fallen behind will be provided to Mrs. Grehan and I will be asking her to check your blogs by no later than Friday morning.



I hope that it will not be necessary to post a similiar message again this year.
