Dear students, parents, and teachers, Best wishes to all who are taking the state assessments in the next few weeks. Here are a few documents to help you review how to write a persuasive essay:
And here are a few tips on getting ready for the tests: 1- Get a good night's sleep. 2- Have a protein-rich, nutritious breakfast. For example: -one egg (hard-boiled or scrambled) or a couple of slices of ham or turkey -one slice of whole-wheat toast -low-sugar cereal -low-fat milk -a small serving of fruit or fruit juice 3- Wear comfortable clothes. 4- If possible, don't sit next to students who could distract you. 5- Take a few relaxing deep breaths before the test. 6- Pace yourself: don't rush, but don't spend too much time on any section. 7- Apply what you've learned. 8- For the writing section: Follow the writing process, but don't spend too much time planning (15 minutes should be enough). Allow enough time to revise. 9- For the reading section: Skim the questions before reading the selection. 10- For multiple-choice questions: Answer the ones you're sure of first. Then go back and tackle the troublesome ones. Don't make wild guesses; use the process of elimination and narrow down your choices. I'll post again after Spring Break. Enjoy your vacation -- I know I will! :) Write Cook SPRING IS COMING!  |
