Welcome to GED Adult Reading and writing Class MONDAY AND WEDNESDAY ARE YOUR EVENINGS WITH ME MS. MORTENSEN, mortd001@hartfordschools.org

What the schedule will look like DEPENDING UPON YOUR ASSIGNED CLASS PERIOD, IT IS USUALLY THE FIRST 15 MINUTES WITH A DAILY EDIT. THE DAILY EDIT BEGINS WITH FIXING MISSPELLED WORDS, MAYBE CAPITALIZATION ISSUES AND SOME RULES TO GO WITH THEM. WE DISCUSS CORRECTIONS IMMEDIATELY AFTER AND DISCUSS RULES. IT WILL GET A BIT MORE DIFFICULT AS CLASSES GO ON BECAUSE EACH WEEK I ADD SOMETHING TO THE LIST OF ITEMS WE LEARNED FROM PREVIOUS WEEKS ON GRAMMAR! I WILL ADD ONE OR TWO FOR YOU TO DISCUSS AND REVIEW.

DAILY EDITS – WE’LL DO ONE TODAY In addition we usually do: A GRAMMAR LESSON AND A READING WE WILL DISCUSS WEBSITES AND LINKS THAT WILL BE USEFUL TO YOU FOR OUR LEARNING WE WILL WORK ON SOME WRITING AND ASSESSMENT TESTS, SO I CAN SEE WHERE YOU NEED HELP LASTLY, WE WILL REVIEW WHAT WE LEARNED AND IT WILL BE UP ON THE CLASS WIKI FOR YOU TO REFER TO.
