Weekly Plans
Lesson plans are done weekly, not weeks in advance. Flexibility is the key to success in middle school for teachers, students, and parents; lesson plans need to be flexible as well. Please check at the beginning of each week to see when tests and quizzes are planned and for any due dates. Instructional Note: Please remember, I don't know which diagrams will appear on county or state level exams. Please encourage your child not to practice one specific cell diagram or food web etc... My goal is to familiarize them with many different "views" and accept answers that make sense which can be defended with evidence. It is quite possible that I will ask your child why they thought a picture was a lysosome not a ribosome and count their answer as correct. Again, all diagrams look a little different. Questions on standardized tests using diagrams will be very specific and have a specific answers.
