Megan Walsh
English Teacher & Yearbook Adviser
Hi! This is my 10th year teaching at Helena High. I enjoy a good debate and thinking about questions with no “right” answer. My goals for this school year are to give more positive feedback, focus on quality over quantity, and build relationships with my students. Like most English teachers, I love reading! I also like traveling (I’m an adviser for Travel Club), listening to literature podcasts, making unnecessary lists, and playing with my dog, Muldoon.

English 2 Syllabus
Weekly agendas
Grading Overview:
We are using category weighting across the semester (summative assignments = 60%, formative assignments = 30%, practice assignments = 10%). The final is worth 10% of the overall semester grade. WE ARE NOT using term weighting (quarter 1/quarter 2).
ABSENT? – Check the agenda for the day(s) you missed. If you have any questions, send me a Teams chat.
Late work – The deadline for late summative and formative assignments is 1 week from the assignment’s due date. After that, you will receive a zero whether you complete the assignment or not. No late practice work is accepted.
Electronics – Bring a charged laptop to class. No phones or earbuds without teacher permission.
Food – Drinks with lids are okay. No other food or drink can be out in the classroom.
