MCAS is Coming!!

IT'S COMING!!!!!

MCAS is coming!  On April 2nd, you'll be completing your Long Composition test.  ON April 7th and 9th, you'll complete the Reading Comprehension tests.  Make sure you're practicing in class, paying attention to the test taking strategies, and reading.  

Wait... what?  That's right.  You become a better writer the more you READ.  Pick up a good, interesting book and read it.  20 minutes a day.  If that's too much, go for 10 minutes.  You'll need to channel your inner author on April 2nd.  The best way to do that is to know what an author's "voice" looks and sounds like.

READ!!!

Want a leg up on the competition?  Check out the DESE website.  You can read through past year's Long Comp responses and see what it takes to be a 6.
