TEMPORARY INSANITIES

Each of us (yes, I’m including myself) will at some point this semester go temporarily insane. You might forget your writing assignment or you might forget to bring your portfolio with you to school on the day it is due.

To accommodate for occasional mishaps, I am issuing you a temporary insanity card. If you happen to forget an assignment you can use your insanity card to keep from being penalized late points. You can only use your card one time for each nine-week period. If you do not use your card during a nine-week period, you will earn ONE PERCENTAGE point of extra credit at the end of the quarter.

Your temporary insanity card cannot be used for exams.

Directions:

1. On a sheet of paper write:

Mrs. Bradley,

I do not have my _______________ done. I am using my temporary insanity card and will turn in the assignment tomorrow.

Your Name

 

2. When I empty out the tray at the end of the day and I grade papers, I will see your note. I will then put a checkmark in my gradebook to indicate that you have used your temporary insanity.
3. You cannot have your temporary insanity back if you decide not to complete the assignment. Once you have taken your insanity opportunity it is gone until the next 9-week period.
