Today students received their scored essay responses from the chapter 31 test. We talked about the scoring and I gave details of what was expected for each legacy. We also talked and contrasted some "good" introductions with some weak ones. We discussed transition words and each student received a transition word handout which they will be able to use to on the chapter 31 essay tomorrow. We spent a little time completing student pre-writes. Students will be able to use their pre-writes on the test but not other resources such as notes or books.
Test Tips:
Tomorrow the test will be an essay response. There is really no study necessary as students viewed the video, read the textbook, and read text documents about Alexander the Great. You already took notes on the character traits of a great leader and used those notes to formulate your pre-write. You may use your pre-write to aid you in writing your response. You will use the Chromebooks and Google Drive to write your response and mark it up.
