Soph Lit:

Today in class....

We concluded our review for the English section of the MCAS exam, which will take place Tuesday. I saw continuous marked improvement in all of you, specifically in your writing.

At the end of class, I collected your MCAS review pack. If you were absent, or missing sections, please have them for Monday. I will look these over this weekend and offer final helpful comments on Monday as you prepare to take the test. I am quite confident that ALL of you will successfully complete the English portion.

We also re-enacted a MCAS correcting session. I broke you into small groups with a team leader and asked you to grade each writing prompt with a set of rubrics. Your in-group discussions of what makes a good written response will help you on Tuesday.

I also have additional review questions if anyone would like additional practice over the weekend. Please see me if interested.
