Write a February 2025 newsletter from Mr. Johnson, Jefferson High School principal celebrating the end of the first semester. Congratulate seniors who have identified their post-secondary plans including going to college, entering the workforce, joining the military, and more. Also thank the parent Booster Club for hosting the fall sports banquet which saw 5 athletes sign commitments to play athletics in college. Upcoming events include parent teacher conferences on Feb. 21 from 4:00-7:00 pm, registration for next year courses starts March 1, and art show starts March 8. Remind parents to review the course guidebook posted on the website to help their students select courses for next year. Parents should note new courses available in the art and music program. Counselors are also available for parents and students to meet and plan future coursework.

Step 1: Develop 4 sets of short highly engaging literary reading passages that [grade level] students can use to identify theme. Each passage needs to have one two-part multiple choice question. Part one needs to be multiple choice at DOK 2 and have students identify the theme of the passage. Part two needs to be multiple choice at DOK 2 or 3 and have students choose a piece of evidence to support the theme from part one. Step 2. Ask for an answer key that also includes a rationale for each answer choice written so teachers can use it to explain theme and evidence to students.
