Mon. April 4, 2016: Novel Review

Today, the students handed in their reading questions for Of Mice and Men. They then wrote a timed summary to demonstrate that each student read the novel. I then went over what they need to know for the comprehension exam for this novel (they will write on Thursday or Friday at the latest, depending on when we finish the film). I then gave them the assignment to complete after viewing the film which I have pasted below.

Thurs. Mar. 3, 2016: Multiple Choice Practice

Today, students were provided with two readings and multiple choice questions in order to practice their comprehension and process of elimination skills. If you were not here, these are in your portfolio.

Tues. Jan. 19 - Fri. Jan 22, 2016: test prep

On Tuesday, I gave you a breakdown about the exam as well as the essay topic. If you were not here, you will need to get the notes from a classmate.
For the duration of this week, the students will be working on sample multiple choice questions, test prep, and creation of a cheat sheet that is due on Friday. The final exam is on Monday, at 9 am in my class.
