Objective:
Warm-up (10 minutes):
Classwork - Gap Analysis and Test Corrections (15 minutes):
- Identify the questions you got wrong and sort them according to the unit they cover. Make note of any specific patterns so that you can study the associated topics. Calculate the percentage of questions you got wrong and focus your attention on the units with the highest proportion of errors.
- Make sure that you have your Scantron, Test and a Test Correction sheet. Please help your peers if they encounter any problems. Review the instructions for the Test Corrections.
- In order to receive credit for this correction you must write out the question and answer as a statement.
- If an excerpt or visual is involved, name and describe it as part of your correction. If the question is a comparison, name and describe both items being compared.
- You CANNOT take corrections with you. When you are finished they must be stapled together and placed in the bin on the counter according to the directions provided.
Classwork - Hexagonal Thinking (15 minutes):
- In hexagonal thinking, you connect terms and ideas through the sides of each hexagon. A hexagon has six sides, therefore each term or concept CAN connect to up to six others. Use your critical thinking to decide where the terms you have been given best fit in the web of hexagons provided. Your goal is to place each hexagon in the position where it BEST fits within the overall web. You could connect any given term to several others, but be intentional with your placement. Make the most important connections your priority.
- You have many moving parts here! Once you finalize your hexagons, place the arrows on your web to point at your most interesting connections and number them for your connection explanations.
