Upcoming Events
Our next test will be Wednesday. We will be reviewing Monday and Tuesday during class and I will be available after school those days for extra help. There will be extra help on Edmodo as well (tutorial videos, extra practice with answers, etc.)
ACT Science Subtest Prep
In class this past week, we began a concerted effort to improve our scores on the science section of the ACT. Many students express that the science section is the most difficult for them. This is probably because this section measures the student's ability to reason through science content and data that they have never seen before rather than measuring actual science content knowledge. In order for students to improve their science reasoning ability, they must practice. We will be working on this in class periodically throughout the year. Each time we do, each student will be analyzing their results by recording it on a data table and graph. This will help them in two ways:
1. They will be able to monitor their own progress on the science section overall as well as on each of the three types of passages it contains.
2. This process is a skill that is required on most of the passages on the ACT.
