Poetry break-down is easier than writing to prompts. If you brush up on ELA terms like: metaphors, simile, etc. it's easier to describe what's going on within the poem...that's how I finally passed.
Now, I'm stuck on passing the Reading. I take the test next Saturday, Mar. 16th for the 10th time. Any suggestions? Has anyone taken it recently and remember what the passages were? I'd even like to get a hold of these passages their using but I can't find them. Please help...email me at tarliecechavers@yahoo.com
teacherheartCongratulations on passing with a creative poem! Understanding the essay graders have a rubric/check list guidelines, there are hundreds of essays to be graded. There is strategic techniques to slay the essay within 50 minutes. I have the content, but time is a work in progress......
I took the gkt in January. My essay topic had something to do with advantages and disadvantages of teacher assessments and then it gave the range of assessments from ineffective effective highly effective and so on.
Has anyone taken the Reading this week? I take mine again tomorrow. Curious what the passages are this week? I will post what passages I get tomorrow. Thanks!!
