--Items on the “backburner” of which to be aware:
- Some students still have not reached mastery for writing pieces that must be included within the portfolio; you cannot advance to English 10 without a completed Writing Portfolio. Mr. Martin will attempt to touch base with you ASAP if this circumstance pertains to you.
- All English 9 students will take a Regional Post-Assessment within the next few weeks. 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 11/7/2012. You might be asking yourself, Can I prepare for this test? The answer is yes, and Mr. Martin hopes that you do, as this test is meant to help him determine what you learned throughout the year. This test will count as part of your final exam for the course.
