Went over the constructed responses today, and wrote best answers in booklet. Also a planning page for the essay which will be written tonight for homework.
The comprehension part of the test was sent home last week and done over without students knowing which answers were incorrect. The result was encouraging. many students improved their score, some significantly. However, they will need to do their very best on the one shot they have this coming Monday. many students proved they didn't do their best initially on this benchmark.
Of course, giving them the test on the first day back after the holidays may be a factor.
