Being honors students at one of the finest public high schools in the country, an obvious expectation would be a certain a mount of capability. Students coming into an honors class should have a good amount of vocabulary and writing skills already mastered. Students will be expcted to be able to keep up with the pace of work and reading, and to do so without too much complaint. Punctuality is also important. It will be necessary to show up on time for class and to turn in assignments on time. Some enthusiasm is also expected. Honors students should at least somewhat enjoy the work they are doing.
In the classroom, it is expected that students remain attentive to the teacher. This is a good way of showing respect, as well as getting a good grade. Giving proper respect to things in the classroom like the computers and other students is also a good idea. A good skill to have in the classroom is the ability to work well with other people. Getting along well with your classmates can help make a harmonious working environment. It is likely that later on in the year, group work will occur. At that time especially it will be necessary to show respect to fellow students and their ideas.
Good work habits are another obvious expectation of an Honors American Literature class. Students are expected to work quickly and efficiently, both in school and out. They are also expected to manage their time responsibly. This means that assignments must be turned in on time, students will not be tardy, and appropriate amounts of time will be set aside for studying. Lack of studying is unacceptable for honors students. Students will be expected to study often, because that is the only way to do well on tests and quizzes.
