Pullout Classess
Students enrolled in my 9th Literature class will take their Georgia Milestones Exam on May 6-7. This exam counts as their final exam and will be worth 600 points in my class. Starting this week (March 25-29) I will be putting up weekly practice for students to consider. These are not required and will not be collected as a grade. HOWEVER, they are excellent review for the Milestone exam and will help keep students focused on the content that will be required of them. At the end of the week I will post a key/answers for the items that were available. If you want feedback on a piece of writing, please come see me during Upgrade OR make an appointment to the writing center. If you have questions over the work, please come see me during Upgrade. DO NOT simply guess on questions and then check your answers assuming that will be enough preparation. Concerted effort will need to be made to find success.
