SAT? List at least 5 items.
2. HRCF AND SAT INFORMATION
HRCF IS GRADED:
1. All of the work that you complete in HRCF counts towards your GPA
2. Your work in HRCF can boost your GPA!
3. If you are interested in the scoring specifics and percentages in the gradebook, please see Mr. Todd
GRADE 10 HRCF:
We are focusing on the English Section of the SAT
In Grade 11 HRCF, you will focus on the Math Section of the SAT
HRCF Format:
We will have an SAT Focus for each lesson. You will earn credit by completing the tasks within the lesson.
WHY SAT IN HRCF?
It is proven that the more hours you study, both individually and with a group, the HIGHER you will achieve on
the SAT.
You will spend many hours studying for the SAT, so we want to give you a little bit of credit for your hard work.
3. INTRO VIDEO
Today, our focus is determining the central idea of a text and identifying
textual evidence
What does the Reading Section of the SAT include?
Let’s watch a 2-minute video that provides an overview of the Reading Test.
Following the video, write down a couple of items that stand out to you from
the video, either new information or ideas that you find to be important.
3. INTRO VIDEO
REMINDER:
As you take the SAT, write in your test booklet, and this is especially important for the Reading section of the
test. What you write—called “annotations”—will help you to stay engaged as you read and will help you to
focus on the important details of the passage.
• Student annotations may include the following items (look at the example on your notes)
– Brief summaries—Write a one or two sentence summary every 2–3 paragraphs.
– Identification of main ideas—Underline the most important parts that give you a sense of what the author is
trying to communicate.
– Key words—Circle specific word choices that may give you a sense of the author’s tone or perspective toward
the subject.
– Other marks—Some students are visual learners and may want to draw brief sketches of important information,
or they may want to draw arrows between sections of the text that relate to each other.
Now, let’s see a Model Annotation…
4. TEACHER MODEL VIDEO
Let’s view a video on Official SAT Practice on Khan Academy, seeing
annotation (and think alouds) in action. The first 2:30 of the video covers this
section.
As the teacher annotates the text in the video, annotate your own on your
student notes. Add to his annotations (draw pictures, add notes in the margins,
etc.)
