- Evening school provides students with the unique opportunity to receive a semester's English credit for successfully completing a 6-week course. Every class
- period will feature time spent on grammar, reading strategies and writing skills. I believe that it is important to know if students are learning the material being taught, therefore, students can expect to be evaluated on a daily basis. In addition to daily assessments, students will also take weekly exams (every Thursday), a midterm and final exam. Final grades reflect exam results, completed classwork, participation, and writing samples.
My gradebook is updated on a regular basis and students can expect to receive a progress report every week. Students and parents can also check on progress by logging into Web-based gradebook.All of our reading selections come from the textbook. Students are given photocopies of each reading selection so they can practice marking the text. Each of our reading selections can also be accessed via the online textbook.The second 6-week session breaks down as follow:Week 1:Reading Reading Skill Grammar Writing Setting, Mood and Imagery pg. 302-307 Guided Note-Taking
