Winter Break Assignment

1. Read through the first checkpoint of your independent book.  I strongly recommend annotating or at least taking a few notes about important moments.
2. If you took the PSAT (seniors exempt), spend time looking at your results.  Log onto the website using the code on your booklet.  Look at which skills they recommend that you practice, then complete a reflection that answers these questions for EACH of the 3 sections on the PSAT.  

1. What score did I get on the section?
2. What skills did I master best?
3. What skills do I most need to improve?
4. What plan for improvement can I follow to improve my score in this section?
5. Choose at least six questions that you initially got wrong (at least two from each section), and EXPLAIN why the correct answer is correct, and also why you initially got the question wrong.

3. Rest and be kind to your families and friends.
