March 31, 2020 Update

• Please check my ACT blog for information regarding Ms. Derr's office hours at lecactwriting.blogspot.com.  
• LEC staff met with Ms. Derr yesterday, and I do have some news.  
• This week we will continue with review, so please complete the three assignments that were posted yesterday.  
• Next week will be spring break!  
• When we return on April 13, we will begin to learn new material.  This material will not be graded but should be completed to ensure your success in future levels and goals.  
• Due to the wild, current state we are in, the paper will no longer count for a grade. When we return from spring break we will finish the essay virtually, and I will provide you with feedback, but it will not count towards your final score in the class. While this project may not currently factor into your overall grade, writing is a beneficial life skill, so it is important that we finish what we started.  
• We are in the process of still determining how final grades will be calculated for the semester.  Once I have more information I will update the blog ASAP. 
• My office hours have now been updated to reflect Ms. Derr's schedule which will be on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1:30-2:30.
• There are three new practice assignments posted in usatestprep.
• RI Evidence Remediation
• ELA Hacks: Textual Evidence. 
• RL Theme Pre-Assessment
• W Developing Claims
• Roble Education: What is a Claim Statement?
• Roble Education: Supporting Claims.
• Each assignment consists of 10 multiple choice questions which allows for two attempts.  All three assignments are already posted and are due by Friday, April 3. 
• I've included some links to videos which provide information on the standard you are practicing.  Please watch the videos if you would like more information and of course, email me if you have questions at kregan.lec@lee.k12.nc.us.  
• If you have any questions or would like help with assignments, I will be available during my scheduled office hours.  Use the document attached for instructions on how to join the virtual meeting.

• Stay safe. Stay healthy. Stay positive. :)
