  1. To the Teacher • This review highlights the emphasized standards on the CST • These questions will not appear on the CST again, but similar ones may • The most important thing to do is to discuss the distracters as that will prepare the students for 4 questions for everyone you cover • There are some emphasized standards that do not have a released test question. You may want to create a question to cover that standard. • As you practice the skill based questions (maps, charts, quotes) with the students, emphasize that these are the easiest questions on the test because the answer is in the question! • The standard description is given for each question so that you can make brilliant commentary on the standard, and enlighten them on additional questions that might be asked • Encourage the students to go online and study the released test questions in preparation for the game http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/sr/documents/cstrtqhss8.pdf • It’s the end of the year. You’re tired…they’re tired. Make it a game. Feed them. Anything to make it fun!

  2. Suggestion for Student Review GameSo, Who Wants To Be a Millionaire on the CST? • Break students into groups of 2-3, balancing the group with succeeding and struggling students • Assign a dollar value (make it in the thousands!) for each question based on difficulty • Tell them questions will be repeated and they will be able to earn money later if they get it wrong now • Create your own rules and rewards to add to the excitement

  3. So, Who Wants To Be a Millionaire on the CST? • Each group has an A card, a B card, a C card, and a D card that one member of the group will stand up with, after they have discussed the correct answer. • Review the distracter answers as that will be the best preparation for the test • Play ‘Just Say Know’ on occasion for extra dollars (See next slide for explanation) • Post the top 3 groups money totals weekly in classroom or on general announcements

  4. Just Say ‘Know’ Process • Confirm—What is correct answer & why? • Discern—Why would a student pick a particular distracter? • Churn—What is another good wrong response (distracter)? • Your Turn—How can the question be modified to make one of the wrong answers right?
