Students should be thinking about a book they can use for class reading time. Section 1 will be reading the book outside of class as well. (I would like sections 2 and 3 to read outside of class as well, but I need to decide on the best system for tracking their progress.)
Today:
Writing Diagnostic
Students started the State writing diagnostic. Many will need to finish next week. I will be submitting the scores but also using the results to help me determine remedial groupings.
Responders:
I introduced the students to the wireless responder system I use in class. They look like remotes. I use them for tests and live results. For example, when a student submits the answers to a test, he gets the score back immediately. I can then see how the class did question by question so I can see where they had trouble. They can also be used to poll the class using oral questions.
Since I had discussed my expectations for two days, I figured students would get a perfect on the "quiz" below. Most did. I think a few had some trouble using the responders. Like I said, today was practice.
