http://alberthillenglish.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 29, 2012. I have created a set of flashcards for the word wall words we have used so far this year.

The test itself will be in March, but I am planning to have another mock test in February in order to see how everyone is doing.

http://alberthillenglish.blogspot.com/2013/01/happy-new-year.html
Wednesday, January 2, 2013. Happy New Year to everyone and welcome back to Albert Hill! I am passing out grades for the writing folders. I spent a good chunk of the break going through every folder and checking its contents. Those grades are going into Engrade quickly, and students are getting a review of what they had or were missing. Friday is the last day to remedy any of the problems with folders, so please get that work in quickly. Note: Only a member of this blog may post a comment.

Monday, November 26, 2012. How to use the TURN-IN feature on Engrade. I am going to start using this feature more often on Engrade to alleviate some of the problems with emailing me your work.

This feature on Engrade makes it incredibly easy to just login, submit work, and feel confident that I will be able to see it. The first step is to log into Engrade.
