ACT Prep is a class offered for the semester on either a two or three teacher rotation. When there are three teachers the sections of ACT English, Math, and Reading/Science rotate every two weeks. When there are only two teachers the rotation is between ACT Math and English/Reading/Science.

Grading
My section of ACT Prep is a portfolio grade. Not all students can make a 36 on the English subtest. Thus, I grade on improvement. Students are tested at the beginning of the semester. Then, we do specific skills work to improve keeping documentation of our work in the notebook and online. At the end of each rotation we take another subtest. If there is improvement on the test even by one point and the portfolio is complete, you can achieve a high A.
