A Strategy for Test Review: Make it Fun!

Engaged! Now they can learn. In one of our developer's office at PE there is a handwritten sign that says "Will They Care?" The sign is a written reminder of our companies mantra . . . Students will only learn if they are paying attention.

Download these activities to use with the testbooks to make sure your students engage in review!


It’s the law
By law, your students must take the state test on U.S. History.
But test-taking is a skill - and students need practice. It’s like learning to drive . . . You must take Driver’s Ed course and practice driving down the road.

This gives you confidence for the day you go down and take the driver’s exam. (It takes guts to get behind the wheel.)
The same is true for Social Studies.
In order to feel confident and do well on the state test, your students must practice.

Maybe . . .
You missed one or two terms thanks to an assembly or snow day.
The sickly student was absent the day you covered it.
The foreign student can read English better than hearing it.
The skateboarders and hiphoppers actually learn best by trial and error.
The right-brainers need to see (and feel) the whole shebang.

The left-brainers take this test and finally come to appreciate the logic of history.
Whichever . . .

The lovely folks who wrote your state test
Using Bloom’s taxonomy, each of the hundreds of terms can be asked in six different ways.
For this reason, we provide thousands of questions.

Time is your enemy . . .
If you had two weeks to spare (ha-ha), students could take this test in class.
Working in pairs your students would quietly guess . . . and then check their answers.

But we live in the real world.

Where the school year is just 180 days.
So why not put this - “The Mother of All Tests” - on your classroom website?
Students can do it - for homework - over two weeks.

The result?

Students get the necessary practice.
And YOU do not have to grade the test.

A long-term investment . . .
You will use this testbook for YEARS to come.

Our best to you on the day of the state test,
The folks at Performance Education
