Dear Parents:
Ancient Greece tests were returned today and some scores were less than or just passing. I considered test performance in a variety of ways and do recognize that it was a little long and detailed. However, I am still surprised by the lower than expected scores. Please know that I do plan to offer a working lunch in the near future on “Ancient Greece”. I will also be reviewing Ancient Greece concepts as we move into Ancient Rome. In addition, I have let all students know that they can earn up to 5 additional points by writing me a letter, on notebook paper, which addresses their incorrect test answers. As example, if they missed the question on the geography of Greece, they could write: Greece’s land was rocky and hilly. It was not good for farming. I will accept these letters through next Monday, January 30th.
I appreciate the extra time spent reviewing the test and big ideas. A better understanding of this civilization will certain lead to a stronger understanding of Ancient Rome, our current area of study.
Thank you again for your efforts. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
