Friday, May 20

Students received their grades for the EOCT this morning. I showed students how to read their EOCT report and also how to calculate their final grades. Of course, they can't figure it out totally, since we're still in the 2nd nine weeks, but they can get a good idea. Here's the formula:
(1st Nine Weeks X .475) + (2nd Nine Weeks X .475) + (EOCT X .15) = Final Grade

Following this, we read a non-fiction article about the rapper Lil' Wayne. I think it's good to read something modern and from real life once in a while, so that we can see that our reading skills do have a real use. Students took a quiz on their comprehension of the article.

We also worked on another logic puzzle. If you are interested in seeing the puzzle, click here.
