Week 5, Day 4
Objective: Reading Readiness Diagnostic Test and Beginning of Year Benchmark

1. Bell Work:   no written bell work today
2. Announcement:  When you email me from SkyWard, it does NOT attach your name to the email.  Therefore, you MUST let me know who it is that is writing the email.  I received another email last night from someone and I have no way of knowing who sent the email.  
3. Online textbook should be working!  WooHoo!!!
4. Go to:  PearsonSuccessNet.com
1. Bookmark this site and save it!!!!!!
2. Add your username and password to your Google Doc with all your usernames and passwords on it...you will forget it!
3. Your username: FIRSTNAMELASTNAMEGRADE (Example:  CHELSEAAVALOS11)
1. Your name is in ALL CAPS
2. Most of you will have "11" as your grade, but there are some of you that are still classified as sophomores and will have "10." You should know who you are.  If not, I believe you can find out this information in SkyWard.
4. Your password:  ENGYOURBIRTHDAY (Example:  ENG071884)
1. The "ENG" must be capitalized.
2. Your birthday is six digits-MMDDYY.  My new daughter Ellie's birthday is August 8, 2014...hers would be ENG080814...you must have the zeros in there.
5. When you log-on, you should see the textbook on your "Book Case"  
1. Click "Open Book"
2. Feel free to explore the site.
5. Online Assignments
1. I have assigned two assignments to you on the online textbook website.  
2. Click "To Do" and it should show you the two assignments
6. Reading Readiness Diagnostic Test
1. Do this one first.
2. This one is only about 40 questions.  It is due today by 4:00pm.
3. I am planning on this being a grade.  Not sure if it will be a completion grade or a "real" grade, so do your best.  
7. Beginning of Year Benchmark
1. Do this one next
2. It is long, so you probably won't get done today.  I will give you time to finish tomorrow.  It will be due on Friday by 4:00pm.
3. I am planning on this being a grade.  Not sure if it will be a completion grade or a "real" grade, so do your best.
8. With technology, we HAVE to be flexible.  If it is not working, log out and log back in.  If that doesn't work, study for your SAT quiz or play on Free Rice.
