Hi all,
Progress Reports will come home next week. What I’ve seen is that students who are doing all of their work, are participating in class, and turning their work in are passing. The students who are not passing are not passing because of a major zero. Every assignment from this point on is vital to their grades. Please make sure they’re doing their homework every night. Yes, they have homework every night. Even if they don’t have an assignment due (which usually they do), they should be spending time studying for their upcoming test.
Students will have a quiz over the Odyssey Part 2 on Monday. They also have their Constructed Responses due on turnitin.com on Monday before 11:59. Please let me know if you have any questions about that one—we did do an example together which is on the blog.
We’ll have the Odyssey Unit Test on Tuesday. Students have their study guides and have been working on filling them out the whole time we’ve been reading.
Also, with the EOC looming upon the horizon I’ve been assigning USATestPrep.com practice every week for homework (Due Wednesdays). Some students are doing this well. Some aren’t touching it. Please encourage your student to not only complete these practices, but try their hardest as they mimic the EOC, which will be 20% of their grade. The more they practice the test taking skills, the better they’ll be on that test.
Happy Halloween!
