Hooray! By Friday, April 29th, nearly all of my Language Arts 8 students will have finished their English end-of-level tests (CRT's). I've gotten a few preliminary scores back and they look really good!
Many students have asked, "What now?" Well, I have two main projects planned for the rest of the school year.
First, we will be working on our biography/autobiography book report. The assignment outline and the rubric are under "important links" on my blog. (mrsleedhms.blogspot.com) We'll be working quite a bit during classtime on this report, so those students who have yet to choose a biography better get cracking!!! The official due dates are Friday, May 13 (B-day students) and Monday, May 16 (A-day students).
Our final assignment for the year will be a creative writing activity called a "frame story." It's a fun flashback/flash-forward kind of story which we will be getting into more detail in class soon.
I have been--and continue to be--so very impressed by my students. Most are hard-working, caring, and positive people who I am proud to know. :) Enjoy the rest of April!
