This week starts another week with standardized testing. This week we are focusing on the End of Course exams, which students are required to pass before high school graduation. Congratulations to the Sophomores who already passed and get a little break with a delayed start time this week. Freshmen have full days all week.
All students will take their English final in class on Tuesday, May 9. All classes have a study list on Classroom, which includes categories that will be covered on the final exam. This test counts for 20% of the semester grade, but not for the fourth quarter. Freshmen will not have finished The Great Gatsby by the time of the final, so the final will cover chapters 1-5. We will still finish the book and have a test on that book. This week we are working with all 9th graders to prepare skits from the book as a way of reviewing for the final.
Tenth graders are finding the Most Valuable Idea from Animal Farm and then taking that idea to apply to a current news item. Then will find a few articles and then compare the book to the article and how their chosen idea presents itself in both texts.
Have a great week!
