Reading, Writing & Making (sense)
Mr Reed's English Class & Highlight Lab- U School
4-1-1 (October 29 - November 14, 2014 )
Some U School students are working hard, some are working less hard. U School students need to be self motivated to meet all their competencies in our Reading, Writing and Making (sense of the world space)
Here is what's been going on and what's coming up.
Constructed Response - Identifying and Analyzing Tone
Students were assigned a open ended test to cite and explain how multiple pieces evidence explain both what the text says and the opinion about it.

What is competency-based education (CBE)?
Competency-based education is an outcomes-based approach to learning that requires students to show mastery of skills and knowledge at one level before they can advance to the next level. All students are held to the same high standard, and all students receive individualized supports and continuous feedback to help them progress in their learning. This approach ensures that students have a strong foundation to build on as they continue through school. The goal of competency-based education is that every student graduates from high school prepared for college, career, and civic life.
