Seniors in Danger of Failing/Not Meeting Promotions Standards

Students who received a grade of "D" or "F" or are in danger of repeating the course due to absences, assignments not completed and uploaded by the due date are eligible to demonstrate their reading and writing ability by doing/completing NEW assignments. Students are NO LONGER able to re-submit or submit the same missed assignment that is often weeks old.  Students will have the chance to demonstrate their understanding by reading several articles or texts chosen by me from Common Lit, Completing SOAPS Analysis and Academic Summary, OR responding to essay prompts, and answering questions from Common Lit. This assignment will be posted on Friday by 11:00 PM. In most cases the assignments will have lock times. If you are unable to complete the assignments by the lock time, they will not be unlocked.  The goal is to have all students who complete the intervention assignments to have a grade of a 56% or higher, so that moving forward, if no assignments are missed, and there is no evidence of plagiarism, the students will pass with a grade of D or C (or better depending on mastery).
