Hi Folks,
Along with the previous question, what do you do for midyears? I am the
only person in my department using this approach. We have a very
traditional, grammar driven program in one of those "highly successful"
high schools. So while everyone else is working on multiple choice and
verb conjugation chart tests, I'm trying to figure out what to do. How do
you approach midyears? Would love any suggestions!
Thanks.
Heather
