English Department News For Quarter 3

English II students and parents please remember that your English class has a South Carolina End of Course Exam which counts 20% of your overall grade. This exam is given in two parts – the Writing and the Reading. The Writing test consists of a few multiple choice questions and a Text Dependent Analysis. The Reading test consists of reading passages with multiple choice questions and some technology enhanced questions. The scores from both tests are combined into one numerical score that is entered in PowerSchool with a weight of 20%. The writing test will be given within the first two weeks in May and the reading test will be given during final exam blocks. Please reach out to your English II teacher with any questions or concerns you may have.
