Catching Fire, MCAS, Thinking......

Here is the latest.   All of my students do SO well in class with MCAS questions but not so well on the actual test. Why?

I need my students to see that they all have the ability to do very well on the MCAS because they do it in class everyday. Take the skills we learn in class when we read Catching Fire---the questions that we ask, all the analyzing that we do, putting yourself in the position of the character---and use these skills EVERYWHERE, including MCAS.

That is our goal.
