In lieu of our normal routine, we have paused to implement some great teachable test taking strategies four days a week. I do the I Do, We Do, You Do format. The students are given a short paragraph to deconstruct, analyze for academic vocabulary, discuss with a partner what the answers might be and why. We then correct as a class. I have already noticed students being a bit more engaged in this activity as we go into the third week.

Randomly choosing students to come up to the board to complete the warm-up. Everyday I choose two students to collaborate to find the answer to two questions. One written response and one multiple choice. These questions challenge students to find evidence from the text and think critically to deduce information from the text.

Students can identify text structures (compare, contrast, cause/effect, sequence and description) while reading history texts. They use color coding to identify each. They first begin by learning the key words of each text structure and identify them in groups, then with a partner and eventually do it by themselves and have to find the key words in a text without the use of a reference sheet.

I have found a lot of success in giving a CFA on Go Formative, where I get immediate feedback as to which questions are most frequently missed and which students are having trouble. When I bring them into Tutorial, we do some group practice and some individual practice to review that concept a second time. The most success with engagement during this time is when the students are able to help each other!
