STAR Review
When we get back to school next week, we have a week of classes, and then we have the STAR tests. Instead of trying to jam in a few more concepts, we're just going to review what we've already learned, in game form. I've got "Who wants to be a millionaire?", "Tic Tac Toe Battle Royale", and "Big-L Bingo" ready to go, as well as a triage lesson (when you look at a problem, should you Guess it? Try it? Kill it?) I hope that this will yield an overall positive result. And when the test is complete, my students won't have to see another multiple choice question for the rest of the year.
Don't forget about Jeopardy and Hollywood Squares. http://tinyurl.com/dz7bax I just found this site today that tells how to make your own.
ReplyDeleteI wish teachers would have reviewed this way when I was in school!
