--The Regional Post-Assessment will take place during our second class next week (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. 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.
--The final assignment of the year for Mr. Martin’s Senior English students is an informal sharing of a major accomplishment/prideful moment from your final year of high school. The sharing process will begin next class (Monday, 6/3/2013). Mr. Martin's model from today should set the bar for expectations (a visual and specific details)--look to reach (or go above and beyond!) the bar.
