EOCT Next Week!

Please, be aware that we will be taking our EOCT (End of Course Test) next week on May 7th, for my class. Please, make sure your child is practicing on Georgia OAS as well as on Study Island. These websites are helpful for ensuring that your child will pass the test.

Also, make sure that they have a good night's rest, a healthy breakfast, and they have had plenty of test practice!

FYI: For Your Information!

Next week students will begin working on Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet. I am very excited to start this unit! Here are a few things to look forward to as we read:

1. Students will receive a Romeo and Juliet study guide that consist of questions that cover the entire play. Students are responsible for keeping up with this study guide, completing all questions, and turning it in at the end of the unit for a grade. 
2. We are planning a field trip to the Shakespeare Tavern around May 15th for those students who have NO disciplinary problems and who are passing the class. Those who are not passing will be required to stay at the school during that time to complete all make-up work to improve their grade. I will give more details as we move closer to May. 
3. At the end of the unit, we will host a Shakespearean feast that will include medieval food stuffs and medieval dress. We will also watch the movie version of the play. However, this is also a reward for those students who are passing and have no disciplinary problems. All other students will be required to complete make-up work during this time to improve their grades. 
4. Students need to make sure they are completing their study island homework, which has been assigned to them each week and is due by Sunday. 

As always, I will be after school until 4:30 for tutorial everyday except Mondays. Students who are having problems accessing the internet are welcome to stay after school as well to complete any online work.
