"Wait, what was my LA homework tonight?"
Being organized is the best way to avoid this question running through your mind each night. Be sure to keep your agenda on you at all times, and USE IT! Writing down what the homework is for each class, each day, helps you to stay organized. Getting your homework done and turned in on time in extremely important. Below, I will continuously post the major assignments, projects, and tests listed on our online calendar. If you need any resources to complete your homework, I will post them online here.
DO NOT rely on this page to tell you what your homework is each night. That responsibility will be left up to you. Email me if you ever have any burning homework questions at: [email protected]
