Everything you need to know for the test
here's the scoop
test support is provided below
We have been learning about California and now it's time to study for the test!
How will it work?
Each day in class we will study together for a section of the test.
Homework all week will mostly be about studying for the test.
(Routine homework like Word Power, math etc. will be done in class with plenty of time to get it done.)
Each day students will write in their agenda what they need to review that night.
This will be considered "study evidence."
Study evidence needs to be shown to Mrs. Eller the following day.
This is not pre-written on The Listening Post as it is a fluid process. It all depends on how much we accomplish in class that day.
IMPORTANT
PARENTS WILL NEED TO SIGN THE AGENDA EACH EVENING TO CERTIFY THAT YOUR CHILD STUDIED THE REQUIRED AMOUNT OF TIME.
IMPORTANT
Students should study a minimum of 45 minutes each night since this is the ONLY homework assigned other than ONE math facts each night.
Students do not have typical routine homework. (Refer to The Listening Post.)
On Friday we will take the test.
short essay section
You will need to write a short essay about your favorite region in California. You will need to give some convincing reasons.
Your reasons need to show you understand what the region is like and why that matters to you. It is not about personal reasons like "My grandma lives there."
The worksheet below WE WILL DO IN CLASS to help you decide which region to choose.
This is posted just in case you lose it. Hopefully it is safe in your California Regions folder.
