Enriched and Standard 03-17-2013

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!  It's a great day in the O'Malley household and in all Irish households around the world.  Are you wearing green?  Will you be eating some corned beef today?  At least be drinking a shamrock shake?  Regardless, enjoy the day, the sun and the last day before your...


...Performance Tasks!  Tomorrow is the day.  It's the same kind of reading and writing and analyzing I've been asking you to do all year.  There are some short answer questions and an essay that you'll be writing.  You'll have to read and understand higher level literature on your own tomorrow.  You'll have to think and patiently work your way through the readings and the prompts.  I will be assessing these.  They will have an effect on your third quarter grade.  Just be ready to try your best tomorrow.

Our plan is to give each class 70 minutes to work through the prompts.  That means you won't necessarily finish tomorrow, but whatever isn't finished Monday will be wrapped up Tuesday.  And then...we go back to our presentations.

For the enriched classes, I have finished assessing the Project Imaginat10n papers.  Look for those grades on HAC tomorrow.  Otherwise, sleep well and we'll see you tomorrow.
