 I wasn’t in class today because i had to help out with senior things. 

 Today we took our final exam, it was only 18 questions and they were all multiple choice. After finishing our final exam it was the same thing as it has been all week, do make up work or missing work. Since i had no make up or missing work i didn’t do anything at first, but since i didn’t do the best on the test i had to do something to make sure my grade stays the same. I started on my three paragraph reflection assignment that Ms.Cook has gave us.

 We did the same thing as yesterday’s except the junior marshall people took their final exam. While they were taking that we were finishing up missing or making up work. We are taking our final tomorrow instead of Friday to get it over with.

 Today we didn’t do anything, as we have for the last week. Since it’s the second to last week of school we been focused on completing makeup work and fixing our grades rather than doing new work.

We finished our video lesson that we started Wednesday. All we had to finish was the questions on page three and a summary paragraph on the back. After doing so Ms.Cook told us about an assignment that she was giving the class to help with their grade if you needed or wanted it. The assignment was to write three paragraphs reflecting about you as a person from the beginning of the year to now.

 Today we didn’t do anything in the class because Mr.Rease wasnt in the class and he didn’t give us any assignments to complete. Since I don’t have any missing assignments to complete i didnt do anything in his class and it was just a free period.

 Today we started an assignment where we watch a movie that talks about different peoples journeys to school based off where they live and their culture in their country. Since the movie is 1 hour and 30 minutes or so long we only had the chance of finishing page one and two today. While we were watching the movie we were also getting feedback on our test scores from our EOC. 

 Today we presented and turned in our projects from last week. Ms.Cook was over the class today, since this was her project so she graded us based off what she believed we did right or wrong. Since there wasn’t many groups, we completed the presentations fairly fast and after that was done it was free period.

 Today we finished up our projects that we started last week. Since my group completed ours last week we didn’t have anything to do this period so we either worked on missing assignments for the class or other classes. Giving the circumstances todays class period was more so a free period for us.

 Due to me having to do something with rotc, i didn’t arrive to class until 11:06. Since i missed half of the class period i didn’t really do anything expect get the assignment and get told what was required of me. After being told what the assignment was i spent the last few minutes deciding which part of the assignment i was going to do.

 Mr.Reade wasn’t here today so we didn’t really do anything in class. Since Ms.Cook was watching us we spent most of the class just talking to her and having conversations with her. I was also moving around a lot doing stuff for other classes and things of that nature so i didn’t really pay attention to what was going on in classroom. I had lost track of time so by the time i actually started the assignment it was already time to go.

 Today we had to rush and finish up our project beachside Mr.Reasee changed the due date last minute due to him being absent Friday. Completing the assignment was t hard though given the fact most of the work was in the same assignment we had already did. My only struggle was the pictures and turning it in on the website. He gave us until 11:59 to turn it in so u was able to turn it in right before the deadline was met. Since he wasn’t going to be at school on Friday, we kept the summary sheet and he said we’d turn it in on Monday. 

 Today we started on the assignment we were supposed to do yesterday. We started our career powerpoint, we had to pick one of the two careers we had and we are doing a powerpoint over them. The career i chose was social work, since we were doing a powerpoint over the careers we had to get more information from another website, so before starting the assignment Mr.Rease had to show us what he’s looking for in the powerpoint and where we can go to get the information. After going over the details of the assignment we started it, he’s giving us until Friday to complete it.

 Due to testing going over time we never went to second period. Since we didn’t go to class today we didn’t do anything today.

 Today we started a career research assignment. This assignment consisted of us taking a test to determine the careers that beat fit our qualifications. After taking the test and picking tow careers, we researched each career with the help of Mr.Rease to see which career is most efficient in the future. After researching our careers, we had to answer questions on both careers and turn them in because we’d be using them tomorrow for class. If we didn’t finish them in class we were supposed to take them home and complete them at home.

Due to testing we had to go to second block during 1st block, also due to testing we aren’t doing work today so we’re just sitting in class either making up old work or doing work for other classes. Due to the lack of work there isn’t really anything to talk about. 

 Today was our last day of testing, we took section 2 & 3. This was the harder testing day just because we had to be in the testing rooms way longer. In section 2 we had to write the narrative, and this section had fairly long passages so the hardest part was getting finished on time while collectively reading each passage. After we finished section 2, we took like a 15 minute break before starting on section 3. Section 3 was very easy since we didn’t have any constructed responses. This section consisted of multiple choice and many grammar questions. 

 Today we took section 1 of the EOC, this section was fairly easy the stories weren’t long and we didn’t have many questions. This section was the one where we didn’t know if we’d get argumentative or informational. I ended up getting informational which was easy to conduct giving the passage we had to base it off. The passages were about hackers, so writing an informational essay about it was very easy. Other than that the test just consisted of multiple choice questions that were very easy to answer. 

 Today we just did more EOC practice, we take the first section of the EOC on Wednesday so today we’re just going over basic tips and tricks to help with the EOC. Today we just read two stories and went over what would be required of us when writing an informational essay. Since we don’t know who will the argumentative essay or the informational essay we’ve went over both. We didn’t end up actually writing an essay though, we ended up just going over tips on how to better our writing. After we did that we were called up to Mr.Rease and he gave us input on our argumentative essays.

 Today all we did was EOC practice and take notes on what will be expected of us during the EOC. After going over the notes we were given a story to read and had to answer questions as our edit ticket. This was meant to help us decipher the reading so when we’re doing our reading during our test we can make connections and better our writing skills. The notes we took were over our test and what should expect from all three sections. We went over what was required from each section and how to get the best overall grade in the sections.
