We're cruising along in both English 9 and English 10 now. English 9 is working on The Crucible. Last week we finished Act One and took a quiz, which goes to one of my first offers: if your student is unhappy with their quiz grade and wants to come in either before or after school, we can look at what they got wrong and if they can tell me the right answer without looking it up, I'll give them the point back. I set the digital quiz for an amount of time that seemed reasonable to me, but I think it moved a bit fast for them, so this is my offer to counteract that. In English 10 we're now getting ready to organize and draft the research paper. Last week I had them practice what they will need to do for the writing of this thing and submit it; if anyone did not do this assignment correctly, I'll be offering them the chance to re-do it. It's important to me that they understand this difficult task, so I'd rather have a re-do than a low score.
I put an offer for extra credit on Classroom for all students. If they are interested, they need to check the announcement on the Stream on Google Classroom.
