Well, ISTEP is quickly approaching so what better way to get into the standardized test taking mood than practicing standardized test taking!
We went over a few test taking techniques today such as...
reading the questions first
highlighting the text
reading the questions carefully
not using pronouns
drawing evidence from the text
pre-planning carefully and effectively
keeping the intro brief and effective
...and had a good practice but we were definitely rushed due to the shortened day today. No worries, we'll be back at it tomorrow.
Honors: be sure to be narrowing your choices on the nonfiction reads. I'll be taking titles and names down tomorrow. You should all have a book and group selected and identified by Friday at the latest. Procrastinators will suffer!
