Long term Learning target:
I can demonstrate my knowledge of Early American history, government and civics through a TED Talk-style presentation that analyzes the major political and social changes that affected the definition of citizenship and the rights of citizens, and explain how those changes continue to impact marginalized groups today.
In this Socratic seminar we talked about numerous injustices and inequalities in the book just mercy, and how choices in the constitutional convention have affected people of color. On the written assignment, I got a meets because I wrote three sentences for each question thoroughly. At the Socratic seminar itself, I got a meets because I talked three times and the requirement (I think) was only talking two times. For my next Socratic seminar, I will push to get an exceeds by talking more and answering the questions more thoroughly.
This year for my first math i-ready, my score was 672, or late 8th. This also means that I tested in the 95th percentile. The category that I scored the highest in was high-frequency words, where I surpassed the level. By the end of the year i-Ready reading test, I want to score in the 9th grade level. I will do this by trying my best to improve in each category.
