Students have been going through an intense period of work and review. This is a time when students should take advantage of review to catch up on things they missed the first time around.
Students have had time every day to work on the review packet they have been assigned. We have divided it up into sections and are doing a few pages every day and night. Please check the Agenda on the right of my blog for a more detailed description of assignments and due dates.
Each students has also received copies of the vocabulary lists for each chapter and has been assigned study diary assignments to help them review. For accountability purposes, they then take a vocabulary "mini-quiz" to assess the effectiveness of their study techniques.
The mid-term is a county exam. It is used to provide feedback to teachers, students, and parents about the progress students have made. In addition, we use the test to assess the effectiveness of instruction and student study habits. Students will receive a recommendation from me as to whether or not they will be prepared for Spanish or French II based on their current grades in class and on the mid-term. With a few exceptions, regular completion of homework and good study habits are the most reliable predictor of success in the next level.
