English
This week in class, we will be preparing for the LTF (Laying the Foundation) exam for next week. This exam is a prep for AP Exams in high school. It has no bearing on promotion to 9th grade.
During TAKS week, students received a rubric and a choice of writing prompts to write a critical analysis. The writing topic and rubric are similar to the LTF free-response format. Students have the option of working alone or with a group (no more than 3 in a group). These papers are due on Friday, 5.9.
