Summer Reading Assignment

I will be passing out the BPS summer reading assignment. This reading will be assessed next fall (for sure this time) by the city and will count towards your first quarter average. If you are not in attendance, or lose it, you can obtain another copy here: Buffalo Public Schools Summer Reading Program link.

Last Exit Response--Course Reflection

I have genuinely enjoyed spending the year with this group. I hope you will take what you learned in this room on to the next level. As a final response, I would just like to know what you really thought of the class. Here are a few points to ponder:
1. Do you believe this class helped you improve your reading and/or writing skills?
2. Do you believe I genuinely cared about your success in this room?
3. How do you feel your behavior/motivation has affected your grade in this class?
4. Do you feel the grading process was fair and clear to you?
5. What do you feel helped add or take away from your learning experience in this roon?
6. What was your favorite piece of lit. we read this year and why?
7. Any final thoughts for me, on your work this year, hopes for the future?
