State Testing: Writing, --Thursday and Friday[Please meet in the Library]
Missing Work:
Last Friday, 5/13-- I asked you to do a timed write [400 words] using Holden Caulfield's "voice," to create a narrative of how Holden's future turns out. It is important that you use his view either to improve his life or if he stays with the same attitude how his life unfolds. Many of you started but you forgot to turn in or finish and turn in. It is worth 50 points, so please get this finished over the weekend and turn into TURNITIN, com. The students who finished and turned in on time your grades are posted in Skyward.
Monday, 5/23: we will start our Value Debates! All of your Brief's will be completed and posted to Skyward by midnight on Sunday, 5/22/2-16. I will take volunteers on the first day and the first pair will receive 10 points extra credit for being the first competing pair. The Briefs have been excellent and I am looking forward to the competition. :)
Please see the rubric for live competition I will be using:
