Today you'll be going over the answers to the study guide you got on Monday. If you weren't here Monday, it was your responsibility to check the blog for what you missed and work on the study guide on your own before coming to class today.

If you were absent today and couldn't get the answers in class, I will post the answers tonight so you can study for tomorrow.

Now that you've read this, put your laptop away. You won't need it the rest of this week.

A couple reminders:
  • Only the 3 assignments written on the late work board can still be turned in (Counterclaim/Rebuttal Nearpod, DWA Practice Essay, and the 2 Actively Learn Texts)
  • Those 3 assignments are now late - if you want a grade for them, they must be turned in with a late slip before 2:30pm Friday, March 6. Absolutely no exceptions.
  • Benchmark test is Thursday. If you're absent, you must take it Friday.

It's the last week of the grading period!

This week, you've got your Benchmark Test on Thursday. Remember, this is only 15 multiple choice questions and it's over things you already know. Don't freak out.

Ms. Fowlkes is out this week, so please show the sub how awesome I know you can be. 5th period, don't forget our deal...

Today you'll be given the study guide to help you prepare for the Benchmark. The deal is that if you guys get at least 75% of the study guide done before you come to class on Wednesday, the sub will give you all the correct answers to study for the test.  If you're absent today, I'll post the blank study guide on Google Classroom this afternoon so you can have it done on Wednesday.

A couple reminders:

  • Only the 3 assignments written on the late work board can still be turned in (Counterclaim/Rebuttal Nearpod, DWA Practice Essay, and the 2 Actively Learn Texts)
  • Those 3 assignments are now late - if you want a grade for them, they must be turned in with a late slip before 2:30pm Friday, March 6. Absolutely no exceptions.
  • Benchmark test is Thursday. If you're absent, you must take it Friday.

I'll see you guys Friday!
