Homework/Tests

Homework

Homework will be assigned on the block day each week and will be due the following block day. This allows the students one week to complete their homework assignment. These assignments are reading comprehension passages with questions. It is up to the student as to how many they want to complete each day as long as all 5 passages are completed and turned in on a weekly basis.

Tests

Tests and Quizzes will be given at the conclusion of our stories from the Collections Textbook and novel chapters. Essays will also be assigned each nine weeks according to the focused writing to prepare and grow in the writing process.
