Objective:  I can showcase my understanding of the priority standards we have focused on throughout the year.
Agenda:  

• Entry Task:  You will need your anthology and a pen(cil) for the final assessment.  
  • As a class, review the final test and stations on the projector.  
• Key Points:
  • Reading Literature:  You will select a short story from the slideshow--be sure to read the descriptions as they give you a hint about what they are about as well as how long they are--choose based on your interests.
  • Reading Informational Text:  You will read an excerpt from a research paper written by three college professors.  Make sure read both the questions and the answers closely. You should annotate the text.  
  • Writing:  This is assessing your ability to “edit.”  Take the list of 10 Writing Tips you are given and make 3 Tips of your own that use the ideas from the original 10.  You have to show your edits in order to receive credit for this portion.
  • Speaking and Listening:  These are being formally assessed with your Seven Basic Plots presentations.  You do not have to do anything for this portion during the time given.
  • Language:  There are two parts to this section.  
    • 1.  A grammar check where you read the paragraph and then select the corrections for the errors marked
    • 2.  The poem you read and identify the bolded, underlined, or italicized devices.  You can only use each device once, so make sure you choose the best for each example  
• There are 5 total stations.  Some will take you longer to complete than others.  You may move at your own pace, but you have to complete the work with the two classes (block period) given.  
• Exit Task:  Staple all of the pages you have completed together.  If you finish before the class is over, you may use any extra time to work on your anthology.
