Mandatory EOC tutoring for all English I students
Tutoring will start the Tuesday we return from Christmas break.
If you attend 4 out of 6 of these sessions and stay the entire time, you will receive a 100 test grade in English I class. The sessions will meet in the multi-purpose room immediately after school (3:00). The two instructors for the session will then assess the group and most likely divide the group in half. You must sign in at the session to obtain credit.
The topics and dates for English I EOC tutoring are as follows:
Date | Topic Covered | Instructor |
Tuesday, January 5 | Reading Strategies (main idea, inferences, predictions, etc) | |
Wednesday, January 6 | Vocabulary Strategies (context clues, prefixes, suffixes, etc.) | Warren |
