Expectations

Thesis: Teachers have many expectations, but here are a few of Mr.Provenzanos.


All of the students in Mr.Provenzano's American Lit class are expected appropriate behavior.  The kids in do no have assigned seats, but are expected to sit next to good working people.  They have to take notes and listen.  Mr.Provenzano posts homework and assignments online.  They can be found on both Twitter and Blogger.  If someone misses an assignment they are able to catch up easily.  It would be hard for any of the students to fall behind on work.  Not only are the assignments easily to find, but they can be easily done.

The work for this class is fairly easy.  Usually Mr.Provenzano assigns a few pages from a text nook, a short essay, or even just writing a blog.  Every day he puts a new word on the smart board for his students.  Their responsibility is to go home and find the definition for that word.  Once the twenty-fifth word is reached there will be a test. Mr.Provenzano's homework is not hard, but it can be a challenge for some students.  If the kids are responsible and do their homework, they won't have tests. All they have to do is participate.  The home work is not too hard, but it's worth it in the long run.

During Mr.Provenzano's class students will learn how to use many different tools.  He teaches how to use blogger, skype, glogster, and diigo.  It's very useful to know how to use these tools.  In the future these tools will be used more and more.  He also teaches how to site work properly.  He does not tolerate plagiarism.  All these tools are great to know for college and most jobs.  It's great having this type of experience.  Mr.Provenvzano is a great teacher.
