Our Unit 2 Assessment is tomorrow. I have informed students that if they have turned in a completed study guide and genuinely put their greatest effort on the exam and still do not hit their mark, they may stay after school any day this week to take an alternative version of the exam. I will have the assessments all graded tomorrow evening so students will know their grades on Tuesday. However, if a student has left blanks on the test or has not turned in a completed study guide, then he or she will not have the opportunity to take a make-up exam.
In other news, starting Tuesday we will be really getting down to work on our narratives. Students are writing their own stories about a memorable event in their lives. Students have already chosen what they will be writing about and have done several other prewriting activities. Tuesday we will begin really writing. The narratives are due on November 4. Students are not required to type their narratives, but may do so if they wish.
Throughout this time, reading homework responses will be summaries.
November 5 will mark the beginning of Unit 3: Author Study. We will be studying the works of Virginia Hamilton.
BIG NEWS: Report card grades are being entered and published on October 30. Please feel free to call the school and schedule a conference with the teacher team! That's part of what we're here for.
