IAB Practice - Editing and Revision

Today you'll be doing some CAASPP Practice questions just like we did when we came back from break.

The goal today is for you to learn how to use the testing interface, and for you to practice experiencing these types of questions, and to maybe pick up some skills.

The deal today is that you are expected and encouraged to work with your table. You have to complete your own answers, but you get to help each other get them right. Talk about the questions, interrogate the text, and see if you can all do even better than you might expect.

In order to do this, you'll need an ID card from Ms. Black and you'll have to log into the testing window.


This I Believe Personal Brainstorm

This document on Google Classroom asks you to think about important moments in your life, just like Dylan thought about and shared an important moment in his life and what it taught him.

You have part of today and all of winter break to work on this document. The reason you have such a long time is because I know the questions are not easy, and I want you to have time to talk to your family and friends and really take time to reflect upon the answers. Sometimes a loved one can help remind us of things that we learned or challenges we faced that we might have forgotten about. 

It has a few parts. Please take some time to read through it today and begin working on the parts you can.
