MCQ Test Corrections

Welcome back! My plan for today is to guide you to:

• Evaluate and discuss responses to determine which answers are most accurate.

• Justify and explain accurate responses using text evidence. 

• Reflect on your work in English class this week and your progress in achieving your personal goal. 

Agenda Items

• Test Corrections - small group discussion & worksheet

Assignments

• Test Corrections - Use the test corrections worksheet and instructions slides to complete test corrections for at least one poem question and one prose question. Explanations that are vague, that simply repeat the answer, or that do not include the required elements shown in the slides will not receive credit.

• Reflection / Share Insights - What did you notice as you were reviewing the questions and working on the corrections? What insights or interesting realizations did you have?
