Course Overview
This course is an introductory class to Korean history, culture, and language.
Korea is a country that has a rich and complex history. We will examine how this country was established, occupied, torn apart, and rebuilt. We will explore the growing popularity of Korean culture in food, music, and movies. Students will also learn very basic Korean language skills throughout this course. KOREAN LANGUAGE Mrs. Lee Rm. 2114 [email protected] Educational Philosophy I believe that students learn best when they are in a positive environment. I demand and expect the very best from each and every student. I also believe that learning can be fun and meaningful at the same time. I am committed to making my classroom a place where students will respect their teachers, their peers, their work, their classroom, and themselves. Student Expectation: Respect: Students will address the teacher properly and be courteous to other students. Students will listen to the teacher or their peers when they speak. Profanity and neg negative comments will not be tolerated. Attendance: Students are expected to be in class every day. Students are responsible for making up missed work. Tardy: More than 5 tardies will result in a 'U' in Cooperation. Materials: Students must come ready to learn with all the necessary materials. (blue/black pen, sharpened pencils, agenda book, the Interactive Notebook, etc) Homework: More than 5 missing assignments will result in a U in Work Habits. All late assignments will be deducted 20%. Discipline: Verbal Warnings Isolation from Group Morning or Lunch Detentions Referrals Parent Phone Call or Conference Suspension * Each offense will be acted upon according. Students must report for morning detention no later than 8:00am and lunch detention in the first 5 minutes of lunch. Classroom Routine/Policy: 1. Students must sharpen pencils, collect past assignments, and turn in homework before the bell rings. 2. Students must copy the Agenda and work on the Warm Up as soon as they enter the classroom. 3. Students who go to the restroom must serve 5-minute detention time for every minute they are gone. 4. Students may not get out of their seat at any time during the period without permission. (This includes when the dismissal bell rings also) 5. Students will be asked not to raise their hand to answer a question; instead the teacher will call on individual students. This instructional method is called Direct Questioning, which encourages participation from all students and prevents students from yelling out answers. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have read and understood the course syllabus.
