Winding Down 2008

English 10-3 A/C Days, Block 4
English 10-4 B/D Days, Block 2

This last week-and-a-half, our tenth grade classes have been working on a number of different culminating activities for our work with the Ayn Rand's Anthem. Projects and test dates are/were:

1) The Anthem Culminating Project, a research paper for which students were asked to research and consider the innovation(s) of an predetermined historical figure were due in class on Wednesday (10-3) or Thursday (10-4).

2) A test of student understanding of ALL SORT CARD TERMS assigned thus far this school year (and listed directly to the right of this blog) was administered on this past Tuesday and Wednesday.

4) The Greece Central School District's second mandatory parallel assessment were given earlier this week to all tenth graders. The results of this practice are utilized to plan future lessons in order to facilitate student performance on the New York state English assessments.

5). Winter Recess reading assignments (and books) will be distributed in-class today (Friday) and Monday. All related work is due immediately upon our return from break, and students will be given a comprehension assessment to gauge whether or not they re-read the assigned book on whether January 5 (10-4) or January 6 (10-3).

Remember, it is YOUR responsibility to see the teacher PRIOR to Advisement and arrange for a pass when you need assistance with any home/classwork.
