EOC Tutoring

the grammar and literature topics that will be on your EOC. Now, it is crunch time! Beginning May 25, the English I teachers will hold tutoring sessions after school on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday for two weeks from 3:00-3:45 and 3:50-4:20. If you have math tutoring to attend also, you should attend one session of each. If you only require English tutoring, you should attend the first session and you will have independent practice during the second session.

If you attend 4 out of 6 of these sessions and stay the entire time, you will receive a 100 test grade in English I class. The sessions will meet in the assigned teacher’s room immediately after school (3:00). You must sign in at the session to obtain credit.

The topics and dates for English I EOC tutoring are as follows:
Tuesday, June 1
Element of Narrative (POV, conflict, character types)
Boyd
Wednesday, June 2
Evaluating texts and sources (viewpoint, persuasion, etc)
Birdyshaw
Thursday, June 3
Grammar: S-V Agreement, sentences combining, sentences structure, pronouns, etc.
Grammar: punctuation, capitalization, spelling, etc.
Boyd-Davis
