As with most tests, there was both good news and bad. Some kids received well over 100% by getting bonus points. A larger number, however, received disappointing grades, and this is the reason for this post. For these kids, I would like to stress that this is not over, that I am hoping and expecting them to retake this test. The parts of speech represent too much of our foundation in Language Arts to just let it go. So, yes, grades will drop for some kids, but with your help, I am hoping their next attempts will be more successful. Please scroll down to where the practice web sites are listed and encourage them to practice. We will also be going over the answers in class, and students will be asked to take notes and correct their old tests. Retakes themselves will have to be during lunch or after school, and need to be scheduled with me. I will be posting grades later today.
