ACT Focus--Trimester 2
You have a copy of the mock assessment students completed in October as well a copy of the questions each student missed in all four sections. Return these to students and allow them to discover why they missed what they missed. Assign students ACT prep in an Albert classroom--you can add content for each section of the ACT in your classroom easily and then just give students the code.
Our next mock ACT is scheduled for January 15th (with a backup plan in case of bad weather). We will test 11th grade students only in this session. Our juniors will have a great opportunity to apply test-taking strategies and work towards improving their previous mock ACT scores--all in preparation for the official test given in March.
ACT Academy--This year, ACT is providing a free resource to all students, parents, and teachers called ACT Academy. Teresa Reed sent out an email on Friday with more information on this new free resource you and your students will want to take advantage of.
