This week's HSA INDICATORS: December 12-18: Do the online exercise for indicators 3.1.6 and 3.1.8. DUE Sunday Midnight, January 8.
This week you don't have to answer the usual three questions in the blog about how it was for you to do these indicators. All you have to do is send me your results for these indicators via email, or bring them to class on Monday/Tuesday next week.
************************
DON'T FORGET TO SEND YOUR RESULTS TO ME VIA EMAIL WITH YOUR NAME AND CLASS PERIOD IN SUBJECT LINE, OR BRING A PRINT OUT OF YOUR RESULTS TO CLASS ON MONDAY/TUESDAY.
THIS QUARTER YOUR ONLINE HOMEWORK WILL COUNT AS A TEST GRADE RATHER THAN A HOMEWORK GRADE, SO IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU COMPLETE THESE EXERCISES ONLINE!
Online HSA Practice Schedule:
This week you'll CONTINUE your online HSA review course for the second quarter. The instructions for completing this are REPEATED below. They are the same steps from the first quarter. If you already know how to do this, you can ignore them! If you still need the instructions, follow the steps and you'll get your weekly homework credit. It's that simple! It will take you about fifteen minutes or so to complete each indicator.
For this homework assignment you'll get to practice answering HSA-style questions. The system will tell you what you get right and wrong, and you'll have a chance to correct yourself and learn from your mistakes. We'll go over all of this material in class, but this give you an opportunity to get more practice in at home!
Each week leading up to the Second Quarter HSA Benchmark in mid January (window is open from January 9-19, and you'll probably take your test on the 16th or 17th) you'll have to complete test questions for two separate indicators. The schedule is spelled out below. Additionally, your blog response for the next five weeks will be centered around your work on this HSA review website.

November 28 - December 4: Do the online exercises for indicators 1.1.3 and 1.2.1
December 5-11: Do the online exercises for indicators 1.2.4 and 1.2.5
December 12 –18: Do the online exercises for indicators 1.3.5 and 2.2.2

Step 3: Pull down the subject tab to English. Choose the“By Indicator” test type that you are working on for the week.
Step 4: For each indicator, print out your results and return this data to class to get your homework grade for each week. Optionally, you can copy and paste your results into an email and send them from your PGCPS Gmail account to peter.sabath@pgcps.org. IF YOU DO THIS, PLEASE LIST YOUR NAME AND CLASS PERIOD IN THE SUBJECT LINE (eg. 2A, 2B, 3A, or 3B). If you don’t have a printer, bring in a letter from a parent stating this and use the charts attached (or create your own charts) to keep track of the questions you get right and wrong.Write down the indicator at the top of each chart and for each question put a check (or X) in the correct column if you get it right or in the incorrect column if you get it wrong.

Today, I learned how to compound various sentence elements - subjects, predicates, modifiers, phrases, and clauses - to link or contrast related ideas and expand sentences by positioning phrases and clauses to accomplish a purpose. On indicator 3.1.6, I scored 8 out of 9. On indicator 3.1.8, I scored 2 out of 2. I liked these indicators because they were very easy.
