Self-Starter: Citizenship self-assessment
Book-of-the-Month Assessment
Students need to be able to find in their books passages that give description of setting and others that show the point of view. They also need to be able to tell about the overall setting, explain the point of view, and tell about the major conflict in the book (the biggest overall problem -- the problem that drives the plot of the book) and at least one other conflict. Finally, they need to be able to write a recommendation letter for the novel itself.
We spent most of the class period in the computer lab. The students had that time to complete the test. For students who weren't done reading their books or who didn't bring their books, they need to arrange with me to come after school to take the test.
If you do not come prepared, you will receive a zero until this is made up. To make up the test, you will need to bring your book on a day you have arranged with Ms. Dorsey to come after school.
