Okay, so we got a little reprieve from ISTEP today. I know I didn't mind too much. I grabbed an extra hour of sleep. Invigorating. No such luck tomorrow, though. Barring unforeseen circumstances, school will be on schedule and ISTEP will take place. One 55 minute test is all you have left. Based on past tests it will incorporate a few short answers and an essay. Just like Tuesday, you'll want to answer the questions fully, support your responses well, and follow those tips from a few blogs ago.
We made a bit of progress on our short story classic debates today. We'll focus on those tomorrow and plan on seeing the debate on "The Necklace". These experiences with the short stories should help you perform better when you go one-on-one. You all know what your debate days are now. Be sure you are doing what you need to to prepare as thoroughly as you can.
In 48 hours I will have all of your Project Imaginat10n assignments in my hands. Just think, 33 days ago you were introduced to P.I., and now it is almost complete. Time flies when you are having fun!
75 points hang in the balance. Is your P.I. worthy of 75 points?
March 18 has been identified as the day for your language arts Performance Task. The tasks shouldn't surprise you too much. In a way we've been doing Performance Tasks since we looked at "The Masque of the Red Death", the excerpt from World War Z, and "For Whom the Bell Tolls". Remember those?
Sleep well tonight for a strong ISTEP tomorrow. See you tomorrow.
