Grades and Exam Analysis

Grades are posted today. Please review your grade and examine how you can improve. Most of you can improve your grade by reading and studying. Also, do not forget that you have an opportunity to retake the unit exam. You must have your exam analysis done for history AND English in order to take the exam. Remember that your new score and old one will be averaged together and the averaged score will replace your old score.

For each section of the test that you received less than a 70% on, you must do a soapstone chart and answer these three questions.
1. Identify 3 to 5 important facts or reasons the author offers to support the main idea.
2. Identify any examples of bias or faulty reasoning found in the article.
3. How is the information discussed in the article relevant for today?
You can find the directions for the soapstone here:

Grades Posted

I have posted new grades. If you have a D or an F, you are in trouble. You need to start reading, studying and turning in your homework. If you are having trouble in any of these areas, we have tutoring available. You can come to American Studies on Wednesday's from 2-3 or Thursdays from 2-3 and 3-4. Please take advantage of this time if you are lost or if you need to make-up tests and quizzes. Missed tests and quizzes really hurt your grade.

Change your habits now!!!! It is not too late!!!
