Course Content and Policies:
The aim for Planning 10 is to enable students to develop the skills they need to become self-directed individuals who set goals, make thoughtful decisions, and take responsibility for pursuing their goals throughout life. This section of Planning 10 is Art focused; may that be theatre, visual, or media art.
Self Assessment includes looking at you: Attitude, Attendance, Teamwork, Participation, Communication Skills
Creative Projects due dates are firm. Any projects handed in after the due date will be given a reduced score. If the student is absent, it is the student’s responsibility to arrange time to work at school to complete the projects and hand in on-time. There are no make-up projects. Missed tests will have to be done upon return to class.
Written Work may include journals, scripts, assignments, reviews, critiques, quizzes
In an attempt to be paperless, most of the course material will be distributed via the course website. Students are expected to check the website for any files, links, or announcements.
Class Policies:
We are involved in a mutually beneficial communal learning experience, one that requires full attention and respectful behavior toward all members of the class. In order to maximize the learning experience, students are requested to observe the following etiquette guidelines:
Lab Policies:

This means you may not place or receive calls, messages, play games, check e-mails, surf the web, pop into Facebook, Twitter, and any other similar applications. Please make sure phone will not ring or vibrate during class.
Headphones must be used at all times. Unless requested by teacher, all computers are to be muted. Please use hush tone when speaking during work time in order keep noise level down.

Class Policies:
We are involved in a mutually beneficial communal learning experience, one that requires full attention and respectful behavior toward all members of the class. In order to maximize the learning experience, students are requested to observe the following etiquette guidelines:
- Students are expected to arrive on time and to remain in class until the class is over, or excused. All students are expected to be in full attendance until the final day of classes.
- Announcements, handouts, and assignments are issued at the beginning of class. It is your responsibility to inform yourself of any announcements or requirements that you miss due to late arrivals. Please do not interrupt class to ask about these. Remain after class or ask via email if you have questions.
- Students must take every step necessary to minimize distractions during class.
- A written excuse must be presented for any absence by all students and must show: date of absence, reason of absence, and parent’s/guardian’s signature.
- A written note is required for early dismissal. If you have a prior engagement that requires you leave before the end of class, please inform the teacher before class and take pains not to disturb other students when you leave. In the case of an emergency, please report first to the main office, so that parents/guardians may be notified.
- Socializing during lectures or when other students are presenting material for the benefit of the class is counterproductive and inconsiderate.
- CHEATING is a serious offence and will result in a score of zero, notes to your counsellor, administrator, and home.
