HW
--The Regional Post-Assessment will take place at the beginning of next class (Wednesday, 6/5/2013) . Though the contents of said test are a bit of a mystery, the test will likely be similar to the Regional Pre-Assessment completed on 11/8/2012. Your goal is to show improvement from your pre-assessment to your post-assessment (which, theoretically, indicates that you have mastered certain skills throughout the school year).  If your score improves, a 100% will be added to your Quarter 4 class participation score.
--Sharing of the final assignment will continue next class (Wednesday, 6/5/2013). Mr. Martin's model from last class should set the bar for expectations (a visual and specific details)--look to reach (or go above and beyond!) the bar.
--Finish reading The Kite Runner by our last day of class--the final novel exam will take place on this day (Friday, 6/7/2013). Continue reviewing your "Mini-Research Presentation Notes" as well.
--If you need to continue revising your research paper in order to achieve mastery for the Cumulative Writing Portfolio (your Senior English Final Exam), get the job done.
--Turn in any books that you owe to Mr. Martin ASAP!
