Reading Checks
Each reading assignment will be followed the next class with a small quiz,
the Reading Check, to assure students keep up with their reading. As Mr.
Janes has often and strongly suggested, it is a good idea to take notes during
discussion. If you rely on the text alone, you will miss nuances that will be
expected in your essay and project.
You will be assessed in the following order: Test, Essay, Project.
