ESSAYS
Although DISAPPOINTINGLY FEW people actually turned in their last essays- the compositions that were completed were GREAT! Class averages on the LEAP rubric were as follows:
3a: 8.6
3b: 8
4a: not enough data
4b: 6.4 (average of a whopping FOUR papers)
(honors) 5a: 9
5b: 9
Almost every class showed marked improvement. Many of your essays made me laugh out loud. Good work!
Your next composition (remember- these are test grades) will be a persuasive one on one of the topics we've discussed in class the last 3 times:
-removing junk food from schools
-school uniforms
-standardized tests like the LEAP
This will be our biggest project for this 9-weeks and the last essay you complete the entire writing process for before we take the iLEAP (starting April 12th)... which is only 14 days of ELA away!!!!!
Let's rock it!
You
