Letztes Jahr, Ich fing an, mich ernsthaft auf die Prüfung vorzubereiten. You can read all about that in my blog post about daily ACT-style review questions here. Spoiler: Ich bedauere, dass sich die Kinder darüber Sorgen machen müssen, aber akzeptiere die dumme Realität, dass standardisierte Tests für eine Weile nirgendwo hingehen.

Seit damals, I’ve continued to utilize standardized-test-style review questions as a daily pre-reading review in my classes. Weirdly, the kids seem to LIKE doing it. I think it makes them feel smart. This year, I’ve been hitting it hard with my juniors. I’ve had them collaborate within their table groups to answer each question, then called on groups at random to talk through their thought processes. A bunch of them took the practice ACT a few weeks ago and were delighted to report that they felt pretty good about the English section because “the questions are pretty similar, so I knew what to do.” That part felt pretty great for me as a teacher.

I finally finished questions for Tim O’Brien’s The Things They Carried TODAY. I had a goal to get it listed before Thanksgiving break, and I squeaked it in just under the wire. Check out all my standardized test prep slideshows on TpT:
