1- This is our last class. Bring any questions from the SAT or ACT book you want to go over. This is your last chance to ask questions!

2. To get paid:

In the 2011-2012 "Preparing for the ACT" booklet English: pages 21-22, questions 46 - 60 Math: pages 31 - 31, questions 41 - 53 Read: pages 34 - 45 and 40 - 41, questions 1 - 10 and 31 - 40 Science passages 6 & 7: pages 52 - 55, questions 28 - 40

Write on the pages A LOT. The more you PHYSICALLY interact with these tests by writing on them, the more you will MENTALLY interact with them. As a result, you will get more items right.

In the English, this means making editing marks in the original text as if you were peer editing a classmate's rough draft.

In the Math, this means showing every step.

In the Reading, this means annotating the text (underlining what you think is very important, circling transitional elements, and--at least in practice--jotting down a word or two after the paragraphs to remind yourself what they said.)

In the Science, this means circling, boxing, and otherwise indicating information on the charts, graphs, and figures you are using to answer the questions.

= = = Homework for the Monday class, seventh class meeting (assigned Monday, December 16th and due Monday, January 6th) = = Our next class meeting will be January 6th. =

2 - Using essay topics in the BBB, write a t-chart with ideas and evidence you would use for the essay and an introduction. Do this for at least four topics We will discuss the ideas in class. Topics can be found in section one of each test.

Write on the pages A LOT. The more you PHYSICALLY interact with these tests by writing on them, the more you will MENTALLY interact with them. As a result, you will get more items right.

Basically, if something on the page stirs your thought process, there should be some markings in the book. Finally, while you are going through the questions, circle any items for which you could not confidently explain or defend your answer. I look forward to seeing you in the new year.
