GRADES ARE UPDATED ON HAC (They are not good!)

I suggest students take the extra day off to work on their Google Classroom assignments! 
If students need the online book, it is here.  Use your lunch ID for user/password.

Students should have written the following: 
  • Sheet 01 Frederick Douglas- do all but I will score question #3
  • Sheet 02 Frederick Douglas- do all but I will score question #3
  • Sheet 03 Frederick Douglas- do all but I will score question #1
  • Sheet 04 My Friend Douglass- SECTION 1 ONLY

Over the past weeks, we have been focusing on how to write a properly constructed response.  Students were expected to use the rubric below to structure their response to a question.  Not only does the response need the proper format; ultimately, the response should demonstrate that the student fully understood the section they were to discuss.

Mrs. Jamison and I have spent HOURS scoring and making suggestions on these.  We fully expect students to revise IF THEY SCORED 70% OR BELOW.

Too many students have not even written the response! 
(I feel like I have been leading horses to water.)
