As the marking period ends...

As the marking period ends, you will all be taking your final assessments.

Pds 4 & 7, you are presenting your Public Service announcements.  Expect a test when you are finished.

Pd 6, you took an exam on "The Ransom of Red Chief" on Tuesday and you will be writing an essay on the literary elements in the story on Thursday and Friday.

Pd 9, you took an exam on "The Ransom of Red Chief" last Thursday and you are finishing your essay today.  

Juniors, you will also be taking a vocabulary test on all six weeks of the root vocabulary words on Thursday, October 18th.

Seniors, you will have to clean up your resumes based upon the comments I have made by Wednesday, October 17th.  

Please take some time to reflect on what you have done this marking period as well as the grades you have earned.  As you know, I calculate the grades using a preset formula (Tests/Essays/Projects= 50%, Classwork/Behavior= 30%, and Homework= 20%).  You should be able to calculate your own grade fairly closely if you choose to.  If you have any questions, you may make an appointment with me during fifth period in room 339B.
