- In this new semester, due to Fulton County’s move to personalized learning, we are now using a Choice Checklist in reading. This new format offers a variety of differentiated activities in order to allow student choice in activity and pacing.
- Please look for the checklist along with completed work in our next set of graded papers on January 27.
- Students are learning how to identify the structure in informational texts and the author’s purpose in choosing different structures.
- The assessment of text structures will be Friday, January 20.
- Vocabulary will now be part of our checklist instead of separate homework. And students will be assessed every two weeks. The first assessment will be Friday, January 20.
- Students were given a new reading log for the third nine weeks.
- Students analyzed the results of their Write Score assessment from November. Then they set goals based on their analysis. We are working on strategies for understanding and responding to informational essay prompts.
- Students will also be accessing One Note Class Notebooks for individualized lessons. They will be choosing from these lessons based upon the writing goals they set for themselves.
