Monday: No school
Tuesday: Complete reporting category chart and introduce STAAR Blitz: An introduction to the process for our STAAR Review covering units 1-11. 8th Social Studies STAAR test is April 23. The following is the plan for each day:
- Warm-ups – A warm-up is used at the beginning of class as an opportunity to formally assess their understanding of the day’s identified TEKS and targeted content. There are 3 sections—matching, questions from the unit, and released STAAR® questions.
- Lessons – A lesson is a PowerPoint presentation designed to review the most tested content on the Grade 8 Social Studies STAAR®. Each slide provides visuals to aid in your understanding of essential content. (bridge between warm-ups and assignments)
- Assignments – An assignment is used after the lesson to allow the students an opportunity to practice and reinforce necessary content associated with the day’s identified TEKS and targeted content.
- Assessment– A quiz will be administered at the beginning of the class period each day covering the previous day’s unit of study. Then, the next unit will begin with the warm-up, lesson, and assignment. Each day will begin with a quiz over the previous unit. You are responsible for each day’s lessons if you are absent.
