ELA / Reading - Narrative Writing / Unit 1 Posttests
Students will revise and edit the narrative writing pieces that we have been working on in class. We hope to "publish" their pieces next the week of 1/28.
We have completed Unit 1 (Courage) in Reading, so it is time to take the unit posttest. On Wednesday, students will take the informational text portion of the unit posttest, and on Thursday, they will take the literary text portion. These tests are simply a data gathering tool for teachers in order to measure student growth. They will not be entered in the grade book. We will begin Unit 2 in Reading, which is called Journeys, the week of 1/28.
It was a pleasure to view the Profile in Courage presentations. The students have grown tremendously in their research and speaking skills. Below are some photos from the presentations...
