  5. “Warm-up” are a series of short questions given at the start of class designed to help review essential SOL material and tie it to new material being covered that day. “Exit Tickets”: are a series of short SOL objective questions given at the end of a lesson designed to help assess if students were able to grasp the essential SOL material covered.

  7. Tests and Quizzes All your original tests and quizzes will be returned to you. These are summative grades and will be calculated into your grade. Do not misplace these assessments. If I have posted an incorrect grade on Clarity, you need to show me your original test with the correct grade.

  8. SOL Review We will be reviewing for the SOL test all year Yes, you heard correctly. I will be giving you periodic SOL formative assessments (remember, formatives do not get calculated into your grade, so do not panic). These assessments help us determine what information you are retainingthroughout the year.
