Do Nows start tomorrow — Thursday, August 13.

Today is the last instrument day. No Do Now, no Exit Ticket — but the day is triage.

Today is triage.

Not everything fits in 90 minutes. Do the highest-priority thing you have not done, in order.

Where are you?

Answer these to yourself, in order.

• Did you finish Diagnostic Part 1 yesterday?
• Did you finish Survey Chunk A Monday? Chunk B yesterday?
• Everything you say no to, you are picking up today — in that order.

If you are unsure, the answer is no, and you make it up.

A diagnostic is not a test.

A diagnostic — or benchmark — measures what you know before anyone teaches it to you. Nobody is supposed to do well on it.

Make-up bank

Open in a new tab. Self-paced. Come back to the day’s stack when you are done.

If you have Diagnostic Part 1 to make up, that goes first — it is Tier 1. Everything else on this slide is Tier 2.

Diagnostic Part 2

Items 51–86 · 35 minutes, silent, independent.

Finished early? ACT math items — same packet as yesterday. Solve only, silent work.

Same rules as yesterday. Blank counts. Skip if you don’t know. Do not talk during this.

Constructed response

• Question 37 of the Diagnostic Part 2 form — same form, keep scrolling.
• One prompt, in your own words. Unscored today.
• Identical prompt returns in December. That pair is the growth measure.

Already closed P2? Reopen the same form and go to question 37.

Survey Chunk C

Otherwise: 20 minutes. Last of the three chunks.

Finished early? Back to the ACT packet. Silent work.

Editing on, resumable. Partial responses are fine.

Course content begins.

• Do Nows and Exit Tickets start tomorrow.
• First topic: why the AI in this room doesn’t run on the Chromebook.
• Return the signature page by Friday.
