Homework for Grades 6-8

February 16th to February 20th

ISTEPS are just around the corner.  The 6-8th grade classes will be working on practice tests to help them get ready. This is a huge change from past years. They will have 4 or 5 practice tests that will take close to 4 hours of testing.  Eighth graders are off to a pretty good start on term papers, and they will be starting notecards and quote cards this week.  All resources for the speech should have been located by Sunday night.  On the following Monday, the first spotcheck of cards will be done and graded.  Hopefully, we will not miss much more school or delays.  If not, all students should take advantage and get some work done….get ahead of the game!!!!

8R & S English

Monday....Students should have all materials needed by Sunday night.....students should be starting their note cards today...work hard and try to get ahead….. I would get notecards done for at least 1 source if you feel confident over the weekend to get ahead....start with a newspaper or magazine article type of source…..

Tuesday-Friday....students will be working each day in class on their note cards for the paper....The first spotcheck of cards will be on Monday and 16 to 18 cards should be completed...this is note cards and quote cards and not the source cards.  The students should try to get ahead of this if possible to stay ahead of the dates in the syllabus if they are striving for an A.
