Good Morning and Happy Friday!
It has ben an eventful week and there is more to come next week.
The Georgia State Writing Test is next Wednesday. We have been preparing for this all year. Recently we have been talking about how to use the prompt and how to start a prewriting. The most important element of their paper is their IDEAS. If the ideas are strong the spelling and mechanics will even out.
We have talked extensively about how to be sure students are answering the questions posed in the prompt and providing reason, evidence, details, or examples to support their writing.
What can you do to help?
1. Just relax - I know that the writing folder that came home was alarming for some, but I do feel that we understand the test and how to succeed. There are some sample papers that we will be looking at on the Georgia Department of Education website.
2. Be to school on time the day of the test with a good nights sleep and a positive attitude. The test starts at 7:55 on Wednesday, March 6.
Thank you and have a blessed weekend.
