  21. Using the DSAT To Teach Test Taking Skills Mike Holtz English I & II CP La Quinta High School

  22. Objectives • Students will: • Review concepts/ standards from previous quarter • Reinforce test taking techniques: • Learn how to think like a test-maker • Identify key words • Analyzing “question frames” • Practice oral presentation skills

  23. Preparation • Check out item analysis results found on PORTAL • Locate 10 lowest scoring questions and determine what standards are associated with them

  24. Item Analysis

  25. Procedure • Arrange students into heterogeneous groups • Assign each group a question • Students will analyze their question • Students will present their findings to the class

  26. Question Analysis • Students must complete the following: • Rewrite the question in your own words.  • What is the question asking you? • Focus on key terms • What are the “test makers” testing you on? (which standard?) • What was the correct answer? Why? • Why were the other three “distracters” incorrect? • Analyze each possible answer independently • How did the test try to “trick” you? • What was the next best answer choice? • Why would someone have chosen this over the correct answer?

  27. Student Presentations • Students record their work on a transparency • Teacher announces percentage of students who answered the question correctly • Two presenters from each group share their analysis to the class
