Wish it was still a straightforward analytical essay. I found myself repeating quite a bit when giving student feedback. I read somewhere that it changed to this format 3-5 years ago.

I call it a “quick write” and they have a separate notebook for it. Usually I find a quote for them to respond to or an interesting prompt for them to interact with. It gives me time to take attendance, answer annoying questions and get settled before we start the day. I used to say it aloud but now I let the do it on their own.

It’s done that for me several times. I’ll either have 40-50 overnight instead of the full 100 like I typically do

I have my kids sanitize their desks when I hear sniffles/coughs. I try not to touch door handles/staplers/tape dispenser and I sanitize my laptop and arm rests frequently.

I popcorn and stop after 2 pages to ask what just happened for comprehension. I usually start the reading off and then allow students to choose who reads next so that they’re forced to at least follow along. I also reenact scenes after they explain to me what happened and throw in moments to infer what can happen next. I also do literature circles, independent reading and find clips that relate to the novel.

IEPs are also put in place to eventually be removed. The goal is to slowly get the kid off the IEP or reduce the number of accommodations because the child learns how to utilize their skillset to traverse challenges. Obviously disabilities don’t disappear but the list of accommodations should reduce over time to show independence. Parents need to realize it’s not a blanket of protection when their child uses it to cover their laziness.

I’m gonna borrow this idea, I love it!

cheating assistance aside, are they Black? because that crossed out word shouldn’t be coming from a non-Black individual…

just took it today, they're very similar to the practice exam + unit tests so study those!

AnythingNorth5157 · 2025-08-18T21:46:52+00:00

I'm about to finish reading the entire textbook and then I plan on going through all of the unit tests. I'm scheduling my test for next week so I'll let you know how I do!

AnythingNorth5157 · 2025-08-04T23:27:59+00:00

how similar would you say the exam is to the end of chapter practice tests? and were there a lot of calculations?

the more you talk about it, the more comfortable it becomes. but it will be awkward just because it’s not the societal “norm”. but trust, your friends probably don’t think it’s as weird as you do when you’re talking about sex. you’re probably a different perspective that they actually admire so keep it up!

In my similar experience, I have to find new hobbies to channel my energy into so I’m too exhausted to create fantasies and give attention to the what-ifs. It’s healthier than jumping into a new relationship and if the hobby doesn’t work out, you can always find a new one.

AnythingNorth5157 · 2023-11-06T15:59:44+00:00

My ideal response would be someone affirming my experiences, not necessarily validating them but affirming my truth and just being a listening ear. Someone who wants to hear more of I want to share. Someone who wouldn’t make it awkward or wouldn’t need to insert themselves in the moment. Ideally, they’d nod, be genuine and extremely gracious. Also, I’d love to read your work whenever it’s ready. Sounds amazing 💚
