Here's what happened in this short week:
- First, I taught students about the process of thinking while taking an exam. Then, I had students take a practice exam for English. I later went over every question on the practice exam and had them correct their own answers. I later had them write the score for their practice exam and a target score they had in mind for their final exam. This way, they could visually see how much they effort they would have to put in in order to reach their goal. I would like each student to be proactive in studying.
- After the practice exam, I had everyone do a reading comprehension activity. I also taught everyone about the reading comprehension test strategy, which is to read the full text first before doing anything. After reading the full text, it is important to read each question and its multiple choice carefully. Please make sure to read ALL multiple choice options before choosing the best answer. After reading all multiple choice options, eliminate the obvious wrong answers first. Then, choose the best answer based on the text.
- Then, I had everyone do all of their corrections in their books. I also had them do a science practice test. After all of the practice tests, I had students make flashcards for the exam staring with the answers they've gotten wrong on the practice test.
My ultimate goal for review week is to saturate the student's mind with everything they've learned this semester. This is a full week of retrieval practice, where each student is working to retrieve the information from their memories. On the other hand, it is very important to play, rest, and eat well! So, make sure to take a movement break every once in a while or your brain might be fried! Alright, below is Week 7's printout:
Please email me if you have any questions about anything from Unit 1!
Love,
Ms. Wendy
