News Articles Have Been Returned!

Language Arts News Articles Completed!

• Good copy news articles have been returned to students, along with a rubric and comments from Mr. Trueman, showing and explaining their marks.  

• Students have been asked to communicate the following in their agenda:  

Show your parents your two marked articles and get them to sign each, showing that they have seen your efforts. 

Q:  What if you or your child is not satisfied with a mark received?

• Your child is responsible for requesting a meeting with Mr. Trueman to discuss their news article and to explain how they are planning on improving it.  

(Some students have already approached Mr. T. and have made a plan for improvements.)

• Mr. Trueman must agree to assessing the work for a second time, and that will be dependent on the student's explanation of their own work, understanding where they did well, and where they can improve their mark. 

• Once improvements have been made by the student, they may hand it in a second time for Mr. Trueman to assess their work once again.  

Any improvements to a News Article must be completed and handed back to Mr. Trueman by November 17th (term one ends that week).
