1. To break barriers of strangerness, aloneness, and loneliness, to build bridges, and create classroom community, no one faces the back of anyone elses head. You will always look at someone 2. Out of respect to yourself, you will not utter a negative about your ability, talents, capability, and potential. If you do, youll have to make a $1.00 donation to the Cancer Society (being a cancer survivor, thats my choice) for each negative utterance. 3. No one will utter a sound without first introducing him/herself 4. Out of respect to yourself and everyone else in the class, you will not be late to class. If you are late and do not have an acceptable reason, you will make a $1.00 donation to the Cancer Society 5. Out of respect to yourself and everyone else in the class cell phones will be turned off! If your cell phone goes off in class or if you are seen text messaging or if you are seen reading a text message, you will bring Fresh DIXIE CREAM OR DAYLIGHT DONUTSI repeat, fresh DIXIE CREAM OR DAYLIGHT DONUTSon the next class day for the entire class to munch on. If you have an impending emergency and clear it with me, you can leave the cell phone on to receive the call or text message.
