Friday/Monday, November 7(1B)/10(1A)

-The warm up consisted of some vocabulary activities.
-Last week, students were assigned to STUDY a selection in the literature book, A Christmas Memory. Students completed a reading check on the selection. Those who scored BELOW 80% went to the library to re-read the story and answer questions in order to help them study the selection. Those students who scored 80% or above stayed in class and completed the planned activity.

--IMPORTANT: 75%-80% of the students in each class did not meet the standard on the reading check and went to the library to study the story. In some cases, students had as many as 6 days in which to study the 9-page story. The data suggests that students did not complete the assignment, or just read the selection, and did not study it as they were instructed. This is unacceptable for students in an honors program.
