- PDF
Description
This resource is for Interactive Notebooks or File Folders. If you would prefer more traditional resources, check out the Test Prep - Answering Multiple Choice Questions unit HERE.
In this 5-day unit, students learn specific strategies to promote success on state assessments and daily practice. Students are exposed to test-taking strategies for answering multiple-choice questions. In this unit students will be assembling Interactive Notebooks or File Folders as they develop critical test-taking skills. During this unit students learn and practice test-taking tips, understand the “anatomy” of a multiple-choice question, learn how to answer a multiple-choice question, and develop three strategies for answering multiple-choice questions. Students practice the test taking strategies with nine short reading passages. Then, students demonstrate their learning with two long reading passages. Students stay actively engaged through small group, partner, and whole class learning activities.
In this unit students will complete a collection of graphic organizers that they will assemble in an interactive notebook or file folder. The notebook or file folder and the interactive shapes serve as a fantastic hands-on educational tool. Students interact with their learning as they create the notebook or file folder and review the finished product.
The design of the interactive notebook or file folder serves many purposes:
- The notebook or file folder serves as a reference for students to use as they complete the literature study. It’s filled with 3-D representations of the unit’s instruction.
- The interactive learning materials provide a fun, hands-on approach to learning that taps into multiple learning styles.
- Creating an interactive notebook or file folder is motivating and empowering for all students.
- Interactive notebooks and file folders create a visual representation of the key concepts covered in the unit.
