Accountability Agreement
I want to learn to read more critically.
I want to read new genres or writing styles and learn to appreciate them.
I want to not be timid. I want to speak up now and then.

”And you know I will
I will
Ooo, la”
-Lennon/McCartney
I will help create the 2007-2008 yearbook.
I will help promote and build the arts program in RDHS by taking part in the Arts Council.
I will be respectful and helpful in class.
_______________________________________________________________
I have to complete all my assignments on time and to the best of my ability.
I have to request help if I need it.
I have to be present at school 95% of the semester.
I have to use my time efficiently by making outlines earlier, beginning to read earlier, etc.
_______________________________________________________________
I will ask help of Mary, Stephanie, Olivia, Mr. Murray, and myself.
I ask Mary to encourage me to speak, to update me on things I’ve missed, and to allow me to bounce ideas off her, please.
I ask Stephanie to also give me feedback when possible, please.
I ask Olivia to update me when I’ve missed a day, and to also give me feedback, please.
I ask Mr. Murray to help me to give me advice if I’m stuck in a rut, please.
I ask myself not to make too much of raising my hand.

“And success? What is it? I do not find it in the applause of the theater; it lies rather in the satisfaction of accomplishment.”
-Anna Pavlova
What does my success look like?
Confidence.
80% (at least).
I’m able to put down a book, think for a moment, and be able to say something about it’s theme, characters, etc.
An assignment well on it’s way to being finished 4 days prior to its due date.

If I don’t succeed,
I would like the late assignment’s mark docked, or to have a detention if the failure is more serious.
If I succeed,
I would like the mark I deserve. No pats on the back are necessary. (Stickers are pretty awesome though.)

I like how you personalized the accountability agreement. I wish I’d thought of it. That’s alright though; I personalized the blog. Anyways, I really liked your ideas and I’d be happy to sign such an agreement. Kudos.
I like stickers.
Getting stickers as a reward would be nice.
Especially if they were stickers of cute fruits like apples.
I will give you feedback if you ask of it.
So far, I like all the nice pictures. It makes your accountability agreement interesting to read and look at.
Mine doesn’t have any pictures….
Ilayda, your whole blog is so pretty, I love all the pictures you put up! I don’t know how to do that. Could you show me some time? :) Love your blog!
