District Benchmark 2 in Writing

Results

                  We had an encouraging outcome for the DB2 in writing: 99% passing with 17 students moving to advanced level (86% or higher)! Congratulations to AC2E 7th graders!

Writing Clinics

                     We will be implementing writing clinics for some students who still need more clinically focused instruction in both revising and editing as well as essay writing. They will be scheduled during 4th and 7th periods. Instead of electives, they will be attending these classes.

Texas English Language Proficiency Assessment

 (TELPAS)

                       The window for writing essays for TELPAS has opened. Students will be required to write the compositions being asked for. There will one academic sample from each core area (writing, reading, science, math, and history).

                        This activity will be announced this week or next week.

Book Report

                          This assignment was due last February 13. Many students have not turned it in yet. They have until Friday only, February 20, to submit it.
