This may be just the resource you need! Give your students the structure that they need to slow down and tackle assignments/assessments with intention.

This resource will help your students to:

• Analyze passage questions for key words and relating reading skills

Resource includes:

Teaching Tips:

I typically allow:

• One class period to read/annotate the passage (passages not included/resource will work for any passage)
• One class period to analyze the question stems
• One class period to answer questions and provide analysis/rationales of answer choices
• This process can be adjusted as needed for in-class assignments or homework. Pacing can also be adjusted as needed, especially as students become more familiar with the process.

Get ready to start testing out on a positive note with these testing motivational notes for students. Designed to uplift and inspire, these notes are meant to be placed on students' desks before they begin their testing journey. Each card features a unique motivational message tailored to boost confidence, foster a positive mindset, and ignite determination in students as they embark on their testing endeavors.

From encouraging words of affirmation to empowering quotes, these notes serve as a reminder that every student possesses the ability to excel and shine brightly. Whether it's a reassuring note about believing in oneself or a gentle reminder to stay focused and resilient, these cards aim to create an atmosphere of encouragement and support during testing sessions.
