At yesterday's PLC meeting, our group worked on developing a new Final Test for our regular Seniors.We have been working on adapting last year's Honors Test which we feel would be quite overwhelming for our regulars and ESE students.
We intend to coordinate our selections for our test using samples of literature studied in Mr. Corwin's and Mr. Hudson's classes. Next week we will all bring in at least two selections with comprehension questions. For instance, it was suggested that a typical sample might be Macbeth's "Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow" speech or a sonnet by Shakespeare. With these kinds of examples, the teachers can assess their students skills at understanding what they read.
