9th Grade English & 9th Grade Academic: Midterms will continue on Monday and Tuesday. Students will be reviewing the Midterm in order to comprehend strengths and weaknesses which need to be addressed. A comprehensive exam assesses what a student knows and how to apply the knowledge. Interpretation and analysis are skills necessary for critical thinking. The goal of English is to create critical thinkers who can use their skills for success in all academics and in life.
Public Speaking: Midterms will continue on Monday and Tuesday. The Persuasive Speeches will finish on Thursday, January 17th. Success in Persuasive Speaking relies on the responsibility of the student to use logic and reason to persuade the audience to DO something. I look forward to their presentations and hope for the movement of the audience from apathy to one of action!
