Final Exams and Sample Reading Passages

Pursuant to our meeting with Andrea, Filomena and Diana, let's take the following action pertaining the administration of final exams of both Global Studies (comprehensive) and Language (supposedly not comprehensive):

1. Please, agree among team members on the preparation of the different parts of the final for both GS and Language, and make the usual three (3) different sets for the November, December, and February instances. Turn them in to me for proofreading a week in advance to the set date of the exam. If there's no need for correction, I'll place the order for xeroxing at school. Please, indicate the number of copies you need. That being the case, once you turn in the exam to me, you're practically done. If no corrections are necessary, all you have to do is show up to administer it on the date of the exam itself.

2. Please, prepare a set of six sample reading passages from your Global Studies / Literature class for the purposes of prospective students taking the oral section of the entrance examination. The passages could be full articles from any of your units, section of longer articles, extracts from a novel, short story, or play you've read this year, or one long or two/three shorter poems. In general the length of the text should be about a page of text (longer if pics are included). If you have any doubt, please leave a comment - the clarification for you may be useful for everyone. These sample texts should be submitted to me by Monday November 17. Thank you.
