Critical Skills Update:
Week 1 and Week 2
Critical Skills: Week 1 (October 27 - 31)
During writing this week we defined what a critical skill is, why it is required, and K12's expectations for the critical skill. Here are the highlights:
*The Critical Skill is a K12 requirement.
*There are two parts: reading and writing. Both parts will be completed in Study Island.
*This is from Literature 4: Unit 6. Because it is being submitted in Study Island you will not have to file share or kmail any documents.
*The reading portion consists of reading a few passages and then answering multiple choice questions. (The reading portion is due by November 12 at 4:00).
*The reading portion has already been posted in Study Island. You may begin the reading potion at any time.
*The writing portion consists of writing a 3 paragraph narrative about a memorable time in your life. (The writing portion is due by November 19 at 4:00).
