Why do we do this? MAP is a way for you to monitor and set goals for your own growth as a reader. It is also crucial in my understanding of where you are at and what I need to do to push you to the next level. Finally, it's a way for the school to monitor how it's doing with students and what we can do to improve overall. MAP is especially important in 10th grade because it lets us know what we need to do between September and March for you to do your best on MCAS. In other words, the same skills on MAP are also tested on MCAS.

What is our MAP mindset? In our classroom and school, we approach MAP with focus and seriousness: it is an opportunity for us to try our best in order to see our growth over time. Each time you take MAP, you will earn points towards your grade just for showing up and trying your best. If you are absent, you have a specific time to make up the assessment according to the school and district.

After each time you take the assessment, you will receive a report just for you that shows how you've grown since the previous tests and specific steps you will take to improve. It's important to remember that you cannot "fail" MAP ; it is a tool to help you and me and the school be accountable for your learning and growth.

What Can I Do to Prepare?: Being present and engaged in your learning each day is the best preparation for MAP and MCAS. Independent reading, along with the reading we do in class, will help you to feel confident and prepared for MAP and MCAS. Reading is like any skill in any sport -- the more you practice, and the harder you push yourself, the better you get. On my YouTube channel, you can watch some multiple choice strategy videos to help with the multiple choice format on MAP and MCAS.

Here's some helpful info:

This is a preview of the digital audiobook of Patron Saints of Nothing by Randy Ribay, available on Libro.fm at https://libro.fm/audiobooks/9781984886026. 
Patron Saints of Nothing
By Randy Ribay
Narrated by Ramón de Ocampo

A NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST

""Brilliant, honest, and equal parts heartbreaking and soul-healing."" --Laurie Halse Anderson, author of SHOUT 

""A singular voice in the world of literature."" --Jason Reynolds, author of Long Way Down

A powerful coming-of-age story about grief, guilt, and the risks a Filipino-American teenager takes to uncover the truth about his cousin's murder.

Jay Reguero plans to spend the last semester of his senior year playing video games before heading to the University of Michigan in the fall. But when he discovers that his Filipino cousin Jun was murdered as part of President Duterte's war on drugs, and no one in the family wants to talk about what happened, Jay travels to the Philippines to find out the real story.

Hoping to uncover more about Jun and the events that led to his death, Jay is forced to reckon with the many sides of his cousin before he can face the whole horrible truth -- and the part he played in it.

As gripping as it is lyrical, Patron Saints of Nothing is a page-turning portrayal of the struggle to reconcile faith, family, and immigrant identity.
