I just wanted to let you know that the students did a fabulous job on a grammar quiz this afternoon! Please take a minute to congratulate them. (If a student missed the quiz, or would like to retake it for a better grade, we'll take care of it later in the week.)
Tomorrow we start a 5-paragraph essay. I'm giving them two weeks IN-CLASS to complete it, and I've set up a daily schedule to work on each stage of the essay. If they stay on top of it, and use their class time wisely, there should be no late submissions. (I've attached a copy of the assignment, as well as the grading rubric.)
Once we're done with the essay, we'll start reading Lord of the Flies.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns, and I'll do the same. Thank you!
Carolyn Marietta, English
