"A book, too, can be a star, 'explosive material, capable of stirring up fresh life endlessly,' a living fire to lighten the darkness, leading out into the expanding universe." - from Madeleine L'Engle's Newberry Medal Acceptance Speech

Classwork for Thursday March 20

Dear 808, 804, and 809,

While I am tending to my sick son, please make sure to do the following work:

  • read and annotate the short and extended response rubric for the test; the copies are in a hanging file folder on my desk - one responsible person may look for them 
  • distribute the benchmark assessments that are in a pile on the middle window sill; each class should be together
  • read over your short and extended responses; score your own answers based on the rubric; finally, revise the responses in your test booklets. If necessary, rewrite on a separate sheet of paper.
  • IMPORTANT: each student must have a completed and revised benchmark assessment by tomorrow; if you were absent the day of the assessment, you must take it home and complete it for homework.
  • make two piles to be collected - one pile of just the answer sheets with the bubbled in answers and one pile of the test booklets
  • when you are done, read silently
