Hello All!
We are at our final countdown and in class we've been discussing what students need to do to get their grades where they need them to be by the end of the semester--only 6 school days away.
The EOC is 20% of their grades. I will move that into Synergy as soon as I get those scores back. They said it could be up to 10 business days, which means we'll have them by the Monday of Winter Break. I know--I want them back sooner as well.
So let's focus on what we can control. You'll need to finish reading Lord of the Flies chapter 9 tonight, we'll read chapters 10-11 in class tomorrow and you'll need to finish reading over the weekend. We'll meet in the Writing Lab on Monday to type up your last constructed response (it is due at the end of class).
Our final unit test is our final exam. It will be on Thursday for 2nd period and Friday for 3rd. After the final unit test we'll take our last Touchstone benchmark, which students can use to replace their Unit 5 or 6 test grade (I'm hoping they'll do amazingly on both the Touchstone and their Lord of the Flies test so they can replace their Romeo and Juliet test and really raise their grades).
These are the last opportunities the students have to pull up their grades, or to keep them where they are. We still have 6 days of school and I expect them to continue to give me their full effort right through to the end.
Happy Thursday!
