Last week, students finished writing their argumentative essays on bullying! Woohoo--two essays down and a bunch more to go! This weekend, I have been really busy trying to assess and provide feedback in Google Classroom to all students in time for progress reports. Click here to review some of the standards met/standards exceeded examples!
This week, students will start a group based project (while it is encouraged to work in groups of their choice, students ALWAYS have the option to work by themselves). This project is to create a persuasive multimedia campaign that discusses the importance of reading and how best to hold students accountable for their independent reading. This year, I have heard many students say that they miss the AR tests, so this should be interesting to see what they come up with! Whatever it is they choose, I will share all of them with our school site to get student voices heard and, in hopes, to affect meaningful change based on their findings!
