Test preparation skills and Test-taking skills

This week we have discussed how to use specific skills to prepare for tests and to take tests in each of your subject areas. You have completed a worksheet guiding you to understand the specific ways teacher write specific types of questions in each subject areas (eg.: what kind of factual information Mr. Dopheide would use to write matching questions on a social studies test). Your homework that is DUE ON MONDAY AT THE BEGINNING OF CLASS is to create a front sheet of lined paper showing: the specific skills and information you would use to prepare for a test (top half), and the specific skills and inforamtion you would use to take a test. You need to do this for Social Studies, Science, Math, Faith Formation, and 1 Special of your choice. If you use the front side of a piece of paper for each subject listed, you will have 3 sheets of paper total. You need a minimum of 3-5 bullet points for each section.

We will discuss your skills in class on Monday; on Tuesday I will be handing out the rubrics for the final project (6th grade Survival Guides) which will be due the following Monday (Oct. 20).

Assessments prep, spelling comprehension activity, and bubble outline format















Above are the pictures of the boards from my room. All assignments are due Friday. For the assessments, you need to write one example of each style we discussed in class; you do NOT need to have the answers as well. This is due Friday.

The spelling comprehension activity for root words and the bubble outline format for short stories are due on Friday.
