Monday October 12 is a holiday and there is no school. Given this extended weekend, students are strongly urged to invest in their class notes, particularly on the key terms/ideas section. This idea of looking over one's class notes and then writing explanatory notes alongside them has been and will continue to be an ongoing theme this year. It is one of our most effective mechanisms for understanding content. Students who struggle with math concepts will most likely benefit the most from employing this technique.
In addition, students are asked to work on a new set of SAT questions with an emphasis on providing clear, comprehensive demonstrations of their thought process for each question. On Tuesday, I will collect not the SAT sheet itself but rather a seperate sheet of paper on which the student should have shown work and solutions.
