Today you took your midterm exam. After grading some of them, I can see that we need to work on our open response and long composition skills. What does the word composition mean you may ask? A composition is the act of combining two or more elements. In our case, a writing composition implies putting together two or more details of evidence to support our claim.
Some MOST of you only wrote a very small paragraph for the long composition portion of the exam. THIS WILL NOT DO! Have I and Mr. Hannah not stressed enough the importance of details and specificity? I guess not. More hounding to ensue...
We'll have to keep working on this for the rest of the semester. As for tomorrow's halfday and shortened blocks, we'll be working with Ms. DeRousi, the high school's Reading Interventionist, to work on building better sentence structure. You all could use it!
Let's work on this, okay? Sigh...
