Classwork for Monday 3/16/2009

Today in class, we'll finish up Thursday and Friday's lesson plan on VIPs from the 1920s, and take our second benchmark exam.

I will treat students who score "Basic" and above with free pizza the Friday after test results come back. Why? Because I know that you know the information on the test, and I have no shame: I will bribe you with pizza to make sure you carefully read the directions, questions, and answer choices (you lovable little teenaged slacker people).

Benchmark Exams

Periods 1, 4 and 5 took the U.S. History benchmark exam in class on Thursday.
Period 2 took the U.S. History benchmark exam on Friday.

Benchmark exams are a way for the school district to make sure that I'm teaching you what you're supposed to know - and that you're getting it. I'm going to use the results to change the way I teach, and re-teach information you didn't get the first time.

Hooray benchmarks!
