English Regents Preparation

Since the week of 18 January has been designated for the administration of Midterm Examinations (English 9-Tuesday; AP Language and Composition-Wednesday),
I have decided to conduct a review session for the English Regents on Tuesday (A and B Bands) and on Monday, 25 January (D Band), rather than introduce "something new" in class.

In addition, I will provide tutoring for the English Regents during 371/2 minutes on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday of this week and again on Monday(1/25).
If you have not done so already, click on the link I have provided (see below) that will take you to the state site for the previous examinations. Pay particular attention to the essay papers given a "5 or a 6" as designated by the NYS Board of Regents. Keep in mind that there is often disagreement among English teachers about the grade that a specific essay received ("... too high.").
