General Directives:

	The English department assumes that written work will reflect the usage of a dictionary and thesaurus.
	An English notebook is a requirement for class and must be brought to class each day. Note taking is a vital part of our English program. The English notebook is to be used only for English class as teachers will be examining and grading these notebooks throughout the course of the year. The style of a notebook will be recommended by the instructor for the class.
