~How to use this product~
Bruno/Wolf
These questions are meant to be difficult and push the students so they
are prepared to take unit and end-of-year tests.
How I use the questions:
We read each story three times (I read, we read, partner read) during the week.
After the third reading, we answer these questions. At the beginning of the year,
we complete the questions together as a class and discuss the questions, the
question types, and test-taking strategies. As the year progresses, I
have students complete the questions in small groups (4-5 students). They discuss
why some answers are wrong and why their choice is the correct answer.
This gets students working together, allows them to practice
both academic vocabulary and language orally, and provides
students opportunities to go back to the text to show each other their
evidence. As students gain more confidence in their ability to answer questions as
a group, they then complete the questions in partners to foster even more
independence. Finally, when students are ready, I have the students complete the
questions independently.
It is important to note that after a majority of the students have finished the
questions, we always discuss the questions and answers as a class. All students
correct their own paper with a different colored pen so they
can learn from the mistakes they make. We examine each answer choices to see
why it is correct or incorrect. I grade the writing questions afterwards. As
a class, we frequently discuss the importance of seeing mistakes and learning from
them. Mistakes are a part of learning!
Other ideas:
Use them as quizzes, homework,
formative assessments, practice
questions, extension work, smallgroup work, or rotation work.
