We have been working on the picture prompt segment of the HSPA test. The students have completed several activities designed to improve planning and time management, and 1 full length sample prompt. Today the students completed a peer editing activity. The students will be asked to reflect on their work in order to improve their work. I will be grading the sample tests we complete in class.
I have provided links to all of the activities that the students have been assigned.
Tomorrow we will begin discussing the mid-term.
