Last week classes completed the New York State English/Language Arts Assessment. Preliminary results look very encouraging.
This week classes are viewing the movie Pay It Forward. Students are taking notes in preparation for a writing assignment on the movie, which will take at least 3 class periods to view.
The movie is both a reward for the hard work done in preparing for the state assessment, and effort in its completion, and also as an introduction to the following unit in which justice will be a central theme.
No spelling this week.
