ELA 11
Today students accessed library books pulled for the three research topics: Cold War, space race, and McCarthyism. I discouraged students from taking notes today, and, instead, encouraged them to skim and scan through the books to get a broad overview of their topics and also pinpoint some books they found valuable and want to return to for notetaking. Unfortunately, most students did little reading and instead socialized--you might want to encourage your student to be productive in class. The note cards (due Friday 1/14) will be one of the last assignments this semester.
AP Language
Ask your student what their preliminary AP score was for the AP Language and Composition test--and remind them that 1) this is only an estimate, and 2) we still have 4 1/2 months to improve before the actual test. Plenty of time to practice and improve!
Yearbook
Staffers continue to work on their second stories. Spread II deadline is tomorrow at the end of the hour.
