Informational Text Analysis

Today, we began work on our assessment for informational text analysis.

To prepare for this assessment, students learned and practiced informational text analysis, and then deconstructed what a proficient analysis would look like. They compared their own practice work to the proficient model, and are now armed with the knowledge they need to achieve a proficient grade on the work we began today.

Please see the timeline and rubric for this assessment. Students will be working in class and have a goal each day. As long as they meet their goal each day, they should not have homework. However, if they fall behind, they will be expected to catch up at home or on their own time, as we are moving toward the close of our gradebooks. Now more than ever, there isn't a ton of flexibility in how late work can come in!

My gradebook closes on May 22. This means all grades must be entered and trended by this date. For this reason, NO LATE WORK WILL BE ACCEPTED AFTER MAY 20.

Hang in there, everyone! Summer is fast approaching! Let's have one last push of hard work before we begin relaxing.
