Mrs. Black’s students analyzed their RRA writing responses from the beginning of the year and from the middle of the year. Students used an Informative rubric to track their educational process while taking ownership of their learning. This process allowed them to expand their analysis to better connect ideas to help make writing more complete and to help them prepare for further writing prompts.
McClain FFA hosted its first “Tech with Teens” event in partnership with the Highland County Community Action Organization this afternoon. Students were able to sit down in an individualized setting with seniors who had specific questions with the technology they use in their everyday lives. Contact HCCAO for details on the next event. ☺️
