***Not having your French notebook when you get to class, doing work for another class during French, sleeping, coming in late without a pass, and/or not getting to work immediately upon entering the room, will all be considered in the calculation of your participation grade. Your participation is graded daily, not just the last week of the grading period. Shaping up right before report card time is not enough to change a whole quarter grade! ***
