Today students took the ECA pre-test for the second half of the school year. We have cut down the amount of acuity testing for sixth grade social studies as this pre-test will be followed up with an ECA post-test near the end of the year. This one does not count as a grade but as the ECA (End of Course Assessment) is a wrap-up of the entire year it will count as a grade in some fashion.
Next Wednesday will be the assessment over the Reformation:
Assessment Tips:
*The test will be general overview of the Reformation and will consist of one essay question. Your C level will be integrated with the B-A+ level in one assessment.
*I have posted the chapter 31 and 32 text book pages on two previous posts for you to read. Don't get caught up in the many details as I will not hold you accountable for all of them, just the larger picture.
*Do pay attention to the Cafe Conversations we had over the primary source documents. While I am not going to test you over the actual documents they will help you with the big picture.
*I will post the background to the Reformation pages later this evening. You already should have read some or all of it as that is what you did after finishing the pre-test today.
*This assessment is aimed to check for your engagement during class time. As I have been suggesting over the past few days how important it is for you to remain engaged in what we are doing in class and trying your best to keep yourself on track that engagement should help you a great deal on this assessment.
*If you have missed class because of illness, be sure to read the tips for this assessment. You should be able to put together a valid essay on Wednesday.
*Please ask questions on Tuesday as we share out the primary source documents cafe conversations.
