“Test preparation should be
integrated into periodic review, as an integral part of an overall
approach to learning. It takes time for your brain to structure
information into categories. When you allow your brain enough time to
review, synthesize, and organize the material, learning becomes easier.”
– Scholastic
To examine agriculture as it relates to Math, Science, Social
Studies, Language and Writing
these commodity readers and sample student questions have been
developed and made available for teachers to print (in black and white
or color) and implement.
Designed to mirror the Terra Nova Test, these reads are a way to
expose students to more non-fiction based texts.
The questions can be answered using the text and are designed to
take about 10 minutes per area.
We propose the following structure for implementing this program
- Day 1
Distribute reader or have students read together on-line
- Day 2
Language Activity
- Day 3
Science or Social Studies Activity
- Day 4
Math Activity
- Day 5
Writing Activity.
