7th Grade Giver Test / QUIZLET IS AWESOME!

The Giver unit is wrapping up now and the seventh graders should be preparing for the test on the whole book. The test will take place on either November 13, 14, or 17 , depending on which class they are in and how well they grasp the material during review. In my experience as a teacher, the biggest problem area when it comes to test-taking is in vocabulary. They have been given a list of 30 vocabulary terms (narrowed down from 80) and also the papers with ready-made flashcards on it. If they find flashcards helpful as a studying tool, they should cut across the solid line and then fold the papers in half to have the terms and definitions as flashcards. The terms are on the website Quizlet.com. If you search for MissJohnson11 , you will find any lists I have made for academic purposes.
