If you are in grades 9, 10, or 11, you will be taking the English benchmark assessment at our next face to face meeting. The benchmark assessment this year is an essay. We will spend 5 minutes at the beginning of your meeting on paperwork and collecting work, then you will be given an essay prompt and allowed the remaining meeting time to complete it.
All 9-11 graders in Visions 9-12 Independent Study are taking this benchmark. You can use the results to help you measure your writing skills against a standard rubric, I will use the results to help you to improve your writing skills, and the school will use the results to see, as a whole, where it can improve on writing instruction.
Please make sure to come to your next meeting with all of your work organized and ready to hand over so we can use our time as wisely as possible.
Thank you!
