March 5: Test and Post-Test Work

Students took a test over Literature of the Middle Ages, with vocabulary.

After the test:
1) Fill in the “L” (What you learned about the Middle Ages/Literature of the Middle Ages) on the KWL chart in the packet.
2) Writing Habits Journal Questions (below). Answer these in complete sentences in your journal. You don’t have to write the questions, but you must answer them fully.
3) Active reading: blue handout. Follow instructions at the top.
4) Whatever is not finished is due next class (Monday, March 9). If students were not seen working until the end of class, the work they turn in Monday will be considered late. The assignment was intended to be worked on IN class and AT home.
