Monster and Final PASS Testing

12

First and second periods didn’t have class today due to pass testing.

Fourth and sixth periods really started getting into the meaty part of Monster. We had a few people testify and the kids are all excited about the book — an English teacher’s dream. It’s an excellent book for teaching students to read carefully and pick up the implications of what’s being said, and what’s not being said.

About Mr. Scott

One of three eighth-grade English Language Arts teachers at Hughes Academy, I have fourteen years' experience in the classroom, including experience teaching English as a Foreign Language and working with at-risk youth. Most of my teaching experience is international. For seven years, I taught English in a small village in the south of Poland. It was a constant challenge, but immensely rewarding. My first job when I returned to the States was as a teaching assistant in an EC classroom, working primarily with children on the autism spectrum. During the 2006/7 school year, I worked at a day-treatment facility for at risk youth, teaching social studies, science, and social skills. I graduated from King College in Bristol, Tennessee with a degree in English, minoring in Secondary Education.
