Parents are required to sign and send back to me the first test. This evaluation represents a beginning point in a progression of skill development.
The first test was diagnostic and focused mainly on -
* reading comprehension
* possession and use of of the class notes (an open notes test)
* careful reading
The essay spotlighted -
* reading comprehension
* logic and detail in composition
* grammar and spelling
From these relatively brief tests we can see the challenge ahead. They show each student - and parents - the areas that call for development as well as strengths.
Independent work is an alternate way to build points and show intellectual growth. Independent paper topics will be given on this site each week. They are comaprison essays, each a bit unexpected in its juxtaposition of topics.
