Week of April 13th...

Honors American Literature and American Literature:

Our main focus this week will be on practicing for the EOC / Milestones. We have been delving into the standards all year in depth, but I hope that having some time to practice similar questions and writing situations will help them on the day of the test.

The test dates are: 
Wednesday, April 29th and Thursday, April 30th. 

1st,  2nd, and 4th Periods will test from 8:00-10:40 both days.  

6th and 7th Periods will test from 12:30-3:10 both days. 

*Students that go to CCA will go during the normal times. All students testing will eat lunch during their regular 4th period.

The first day, Wednesday, students will have up to 70 minutes to answer a mix of both multiple choice and short answer for Section I. Then, they will have a 5 minute break. Then, they will have up to another 70 minutes to answer a mix of both multiple choice and short answer for Section II.

On the second day, Thursday, students will have up to 90 minutes to read two passages, answer three multiple choice questionss, and write a multi-paragraph essay about BOTH passages.
