Weekly Blog Post

Week of November 10-14

This week we had to start the week off by doing the application and taking the test to get in to West Hills. The test honestly reminded me of a dumbed down version of the ACT. It was honestly really boring in my opinion, but what tests are ever fun. After that I got the flu and Wes leaving school early because I honestly wasn't feeling good at all. I am pleased to find out that Dr. Audet is willing to join the Laton Lions Club to be our Leo's Club advisor because all of the current members have so much on their plate already. Then I also found out that the Lemoore Lioms Member, Mr. Bob Casus, has offered to pay our Leo's starter fees which is probably a a big sigh of relief to the Lions Club because I feel like they are so stressed out because they have so much going on lately.

ENGLISH STANDARDS

  • RL6  Analyze a case in which grasping point of view requires distinguishing what is directly stated in a text form what is really meant.
  • RI6  Determine an authors point of view or purpose in a text in which the rhetoric is particularly effective, analyzing how style and content contribute to the power, persuasiveness, or beauty of the text.
  • L3  Apply knowledge to language to understand how language functions in different contexts, to make effective choices for meaning, or style, and to comprehend mere fully when reading or listening.
I can use these standards due to the West Hills test. There were honestly probably more that I didn't notice, but I feel as if these standards are sufficient. The test was difficult, but after taking the ACT this test honestly wasn't all that hard anymore. There was a lot of reading and grammar and tying things together in the entire English portions of the test.
