Escape room style activity for STAAR review
This activity is a puzzle based, escape room style challenge activity where students receive clues, answer questions from released STAAR tests, get hints, and try to beat the clock to escape an alien ship.
I used a paired text from the 2017 5th grade released reading STAAR, it would be easy to simply delete the questions and have them complete questions from another grade level or even another subject.
They basically get a puzzle, then must answer 3 STAAR questions before you give them a hint

Multiple Choice Brain Teasers
The following brainteasers are not exactly like questions you see on standardized tests. However, there are a lot of similarities. Now that tests are more rigorous and require a higher level thought process, students need to take time thinking through questions and reading more carefully. Students are often impulsive and do not read carefully. They miss either what the question is asking or they miss tiny, yet important details. Also, they are easily thrown off by the distracter answer.

Personal Narrative: Blueprinting Places and Memories
This assignment allows students to draw, label, and reflect on a special place. I used this with HOUSE ON MANGO STREET, but it could be used for many literary works. This assignment can result in a personal narrative, an expository piece, or a persuasive piece (especially helpful for the STAAR EOC). My students wrote some amazing essays based on their blueprinting. I have seen this used in adult writing workshops; it is a powerful tool. Enjoy!
