Project Based Homework 4.2.12.

Hello All,

This is just a reminder that you must complete the following:

***All tasks 1,2,4,5 (use plenty of cited details in your essays)
***Read a nonfiction book for 40 minutes per day. In addition, use strategies to help you as you read and use context clues to help you find the meaning of the word.
***Complete all Acuity assignments online to help you prepare for the state test.
***Please visit http://www.edinformatics.com/testing/ny.htm to practice the NYS ELA/MATH sample state tests. These tests are from previous years. Find your grade and select a year (2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010).

As of next week, we will be focusing on test prep strategies for short and extended response writing and poetry in test prep. Please be prepared to work hard! Take every strategy I show you and practice it with diligence! YOU WILL PASS!!!!!!! However, it all depends on you!

What does this mean for the task bundles you may ask? You will be responsible to complete all of the tasks on your own, except for the FINAL TASK. If you do need help with the structure of the essays and the writing strategies I taught you (i.e. Hook-3-T, T-E-C and CA-R1-R2 and "The Bottom Line" method), please see me during lunch or request to come during 421 AIS on Tuesday (6th period) or Friday (4th period). Class 424 you can request to come during 424 AIS on Thursday (2nd period). Please understand that I cannot take the entire class, only those students who are truly struggling and are extremely behind with their tasks will be allowed to stay for AIS.

Enjoy your week!! : )
