Writing Portfolio

I hope that everyone is having a very productive weekend. I am sure you are all home studying for your English exam:) Don't forget to take breaks; your brain needs time to rest, so that it can hold on to all that information!

Please remember that I expect all students to be in class at the regular time (8:50am) for study hall. At that time I will collect all textbooks (Sightlines, A Midsummer Night's Dream, To Kill A Mockingbird). I will only allow students who come to class at the designated time to keep their AMND books during the exam. Please do not mark or write in your books. I will be collecting them, and handing out a different copy to each student during the exam.

IMPORTANT: You are responsible for all notes on this blog (characteristics of a romantic comedy).

If school is cancelled on the day of the exam, all exams will be pushed a day ahead. For example, If school is closed Monday, Jan. 29, the exams scheduled for the 29th will be written on the 30th; exams scheduled for the 30th will be written on the 31st (and so on).

IN CASE OF SICKNESS, CALL THE SECRETARY TO REPORT YOUR ABSENCE BEFORE
THE EXAM(S).

Just a reminder (not that you need one) that Friday, Feb. 2 is an administration day and there will be no classes.

Friday Class re-cap:

  • Passed back poetry and non-fiction quizzes
  • Reviewed quizzes
  • Discussed final exam (format and possible questions
  • We had our cake and ate it too!

Please do not forget to bring your cumulative binders on Monday. Also, you must have your writing portfolios passed in on Monday. The following is a list of entries that should be in your portfolio:

  • Challenge Day
  • Free Writing (Dec 4)
  • Poetry prompt questions (Dec11)
  • "My Left Foot" response (Dec. 15)
  • "The Only Wheelchair in Town" (Dec. 16)
  • A Midsummer Night's Dream Journal Prompts
  • Act I = All
  • Act II = All
  • Act III = Skip square bullet; do triangle bullet
  • Act IV = Skip square bullet; do first triangle bullet

That is all you are required to have completed in your writing portfolios.

Good Luck Studying!!
