Agenda, Week of April 11, 2016
Outside Reading Assignment: Students have chosen books for outside reading for our Literary Circles. Students have a role in their group each week as well as three journal entries. Students will be graded on participation and coming prepared for the weekly discussion. Your child should have all of this information in their interactive notebook. The work students have been asked to complete is aligned with the College Board for AP Preparation. The next reading assignment is due Monday, April 18, 2016.
This Week's Agenda: Revising and Editing, Unit 5 Test
Monday: Literacy Circles; Revising and Editing Research Papers
Tuesday & Wednesday - Revising and Editing Research Papers - students have been given feedback on their rough drafts, as well as provided resources and strategies for revising, editing, and formatting to help them improve their research paper grade. I have recorded a preliminary grade, but students are able to get full credit if they make revisions and meet all expectations of the grading rubric. REVISED PAPERS are due Wednesday, April 13, or they are counted late
Thursday & Friday - Unit 5 Test - cross-genre reading comprehension
Parent Information
This week is the 6th week of the 5th Six Weeks. Students who have missing assignments need to take care of these soon or they will be zeroes in the grade book. I am working diligently to get projects graded and give students feedback. If a student scores a failing grade on a project, I always give them feedback and the opportunity to improve the grade. It is up to them to take it. I hope to have all career fair projects graded by tomorrow.
As always, please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about your child.
Tutoring This Week
Tutoring Times for Mrs. Pogue (classwork assistance)
I will be out this week on Tuesday and Thursday due to family commitments. Most of the work students may be missing, they can do at home or in the school library; they just need to make the time to do it. I will be available the following times this week:
Wednesday: 3:45 - 5:00 pm
Friday: 8:00-8:30 and 3:45 - 4:30
Thursday: 4 - 6 pm (in the library;) - I won't be at Thursday Night School this week, but an English teacher is always scheduled and could help your child if they need help.
