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).
