Took SAT Quiz #3 today.
Yesterday SAT quiz #2 was returned to students. The Retake for quiz #2 is on Monday, October 7 during lunch. Reminder: students must have a letter of explanation with a future plan of how s/he will avoid getting a low score. Must have 5 or below to retake. Make sure there is parent signature and the activity that was done to review (if a quizlet, must show me it). If this is the second time a student wants to retake, they were required to see me to discuss whether or not they are allowed to do that. It cannot become a cycle where the student is failing and retaking every week.
SAT 4 was passed out and is due on Monday. A “different form” column was created. For example, for empathy, there could be empathetic, empathize, and emphatically. For column 3 it should say write 5 times!
Library time: students spent time in the library either renewing or checking out another book. SSR Reflection #6 has to be completed – topic: Summarize what you have read thus far (must have 12-15 sentences). Reading must happen at home as the time spent in sustained silent reading in class is not sufficient.
We are done with our first round of writing with me modeling the process. Students should have their graphic organizer completed as most was done in class; however, there were some who were behind. Students also got a copy of the graphic organizer we worked on in class. It took about 3 weeks to go through this process but the hope is that we have all gained clarity and direction with the expectations in writing an essay/PBW. We will revisit their pre-writing cold write next week for some reflection.
