As spring is springing, we draw near to a time in school that most educators do not look forward to: standardize testing. As counselors, we wear many hats with event. One of the hats I do like to wear is teaching students test-taking skills. No matter what happens in school, our students will always need to know important strategies to help them take tests efficiently and effectively. So, I have come up with a unit that helps students remember and practice this! Unit: A Recipe for Test-Taking Success! Lesson 1: Gather the Ingredients Lesson 2: Choose your Most-Needed Strategies Lesson 3: Make your Personal Pan Pizza Lesson 4: Enter the Pizza Pizzaz Contest (What Did I Learn) Lesson 1: Gather the Ingredients This is the most important lesson, because you are building the dough (groundwork) for your unit. I do this best in a Power Point. With the power point, each student will also have their Critique Card. As you talk about each ingredient, they will rate themselves on how well they do this skill right now. This will also help you collect pre-assessment data. Please feel free to use the power point! The critique card is the last slide on the power point.
I will be adding the personal pan pizza lessons soon! Also stay tuned for the 4th grade Monsters University Test-taking unit! Happy Hump Day!
