Welcome back.....to your midterm exam! Yayyyyyy.
We will be taking our Studio D Midterm on
Friday, January 10th
during the 2nd and 3rd period exam slots.
Content from the midterm will be split amongst the four classes that make up Studio D9. One quarter of the exam will be English content, one quarter will be Environmental Science content, one quarter will be World Geography content, and one quarter will be Foundations of Design content. Each teacher will grade their respective content from the exam to use for the midterm grade for their individual class. A student's performance in one content area of the exam will NOT affect his or her performance in any other content area of the exam; they will be graded independently.
Students spent today reviewing all of their content from first semester in groups and were tasked to create the questions to their midterm. Students are responsible for drafting 20 questions (and the answers!) individually, 5 per subject area. From there, students will choose the 10 best questions from each group for each subject to submit to the teacher for the exam. The teacher will choose appropriate student questions to include on the midterm.
In each of the four courses that make up Studio D9, the exam will count as 10% of the students' Semester One grade for each class. Quarter One will count 45%, Quarter Two will count 45%,
and the midterm will count 10%
to make up students' final Semester One grade.
Students will take their exam during two consecutive 100 minute periods; therefore, each of the four content portions of the exam will be approximately 50 minutes long. Please note that the number of questions will vary for each subject depending on the length of the response.
Students will take the English content portion of the midterm and the Design content portion of the midterm during the 2nd period exam block, Friday, January 10, 8:35 am -10:15 am.
Students will take the Environmental Studies content portion of the midterm and the World Geography content portion of the midterm during the 3rd period exam block, Friday, January 10, 10:30 am -12:10 pm.
Students will spend the rest of the week preparing and reviewing for this test. A complete list of subjects that could be on the exam can be found below.
