Hey Gang,
Today, I handed out a HSPE (High School Proficiency Exam) packet with 3-4 example reading questions. We covered the first two questions in class, and we discussed good test taking behavior:
For multiple choice questions:
- narrow down your selections to TWO possible answers. One is the CORRECT answer (because it has evidence to support it in the text) and one is the near-correct answer (logically it would seem right, but it either has little evidence, or it does not apply to the logic of the reading)
- go back to the selection and search for evidence to support your answers
For short-answer questions:
- ALWAYS fill in the available writing space. ALWAYS, no exceptions!
- Use quotes from the story to support your answer - try to write a mini CBECW paragraph.
- Do not write with slang - stay professional!
HW: Study the packets - we're taking a 2-day hiatus from the novel to discuss things about the test.
Could you please tell me what website helps to break down the parts of all quiet on the western front?
