This week, we covered the following: Tuesday: 1. We began with a quickwrite. 2. I discussed the essay and poster portions of the Song Lyrics analysis project. The poster may be completed digitally as a short slideshow if you prefer. The entire project, including the poster, is due on 11/7. 3. Students continued working on their Lyrics Analysis projects. Wednesday & Thursday: 1. Students took the NWEA Reading and Math tests in my class. Any students who were unable to complete both tests during the class time will finish their testing with their EPs. These tests allow us to measure student understanding and progress in comparison to a student's own previous scores and in comparison to school-wide and state-wide averages. This is not a state standards test, and it does not count for a grade. It does, however, let us know how we can support our students better in their challenging content areas.
