Today, I handed back the active reading activity from yesterday. A number of you had problems with expectations, so we reviewed them. Keep in mind that you must always introduce the topic. In the case of a text summary of this length (three sentences), citing the text/author and that it is "about" is a good starting point. From here, you need to demonstrate knowledge of the text (beginning, middle and end).
I then discussed your self awareness activity. A number of you are not showing understanding in your responses. We talked about motivation (such as that many of you are taking English because you are motivated to graduate) and goals (most want more than a 50%). This means that, if you are competent, you need to do the work in a way that demonstrates this (do the readings) or, if you are not, it will have to be addressed in the self regulation stage of assess and reflect (which we will get to soon).
I then gave you a copy of the DRAFT reading from the ELA A30 prototype exam from October 2013. You are to read it actively and then answer the multiple choice questions. The goal is to demonstrate competency. If you were not here, the reading is in your portfolio; please do it when you get back (get it in the morning and do it outside of class).
