Whew! You survived! Now you don't have to worry about ISTEP until the computer based multiple choice tests next month. there were positive feelings about today's test circulating through the air. we'll try and duplicate that in April.
Honors: Tomorrow is the first meeting day for the nonfiction groups. You'll need to be sure to have prepared for the meeting by completing the assigned role, be it discussion director, literary luminary, travel tracer, etc. You'll be having 30 minute minimum discussions tomorrow that should enhance your understanding of the text. First responses will be due the following day.
Today we discussed chocolate milk and whether or not it should be banned from the lunchroom. Overall, the discussions were much improved from the Shoot-out ones. More evidence was drawn specifically from the text to defend your positions. I have some more sources on this topic I want you to examine and then we will need to discuss whether or not Christina Hoag, the writer of the piece, is biased.
Standard: You identified five strong similarities and five strong differences between The Ernest Green Story and Warriors Don't Cry. Then you were given instructions on your next assessment: a presentation over the two mediums. Here's a link to the instructions. You should be working on the presentation tonight. You'll also receive more class time tomorrow with the expected due date being Friday. Here's your chance to shine!
