April 6-10

Hello English II students and BHS Parents,
 
We hope you are all well during this unusual time off. 
 
English II teachers want to provide you with weekly opportunities for suggested practice so you can retain your academic skills in reading, writing, grammar, and analytical skills.  Each week we will provide one Commonlit.org article for you to read and practice, one No Red Ink (NRI) grammar practice with quiz, and the link to access ACT Academy. 
 
Please see the link and article below.  Each student will log on to his/her NRI account for grammar practice.  Email the teacher if you need help with user name/password resets.
 
Students who have failed first semester or third quarter should contact teachers via email to discuss recovery opportunities.
 
For additional practice, please refer to the Rutherford County Schools website.
 
Stay well and take care,
Mrs Boyd
