Each day, students will be working in groups discussing the content of the sections from this chapter. For example, on Tuesday we will be discussing section 15.1. At the end of each class period, each group needs to turn in a list of 5 facts or concepts from that days assigned section that they anticipate to be possible test questions (remember there are both essay and multiple choice test questions). In other words, they need to predict what they think the test questions will be on or about. The purpose of this activity is to activate students thinking with regard to their reading and forcing them to do what good readers do – anticipate the testable and important information.
Today, your task is to develop a schedule that you will use to prepare your self for a test on the material from chapter 15. The test will include both a multiple choice and an essay portion. The test will be on January 13th. Review the breadth covered in this chapter. You need to create a schedule showing the days between now and the test day, and specifies how you are going to prepare and what you will be doing on each day. Remember to make sure your schedule incorporates the test prediction activities that are described above. Your test preparation schedule is due today by the end of the period and will be returned to you tomorrow. You will need to keep it with you in class incase I have you turn in progress reports so you and I can compare your plan with your progress.
