With the Mass. MCAS Long Composition Test less than a
month away, what are you doing with your students to
prepare them? Will you have a day when you give them a
prompt and let them go it alone to simulate the real test?
I have been stressing introduction, 3 body paragraphs, and
conclusion paragraph. We have doe lots of practice with
prompts, but have spent days on one prompt. I have given
them all the suggestions for good writing and provided
models for them, have conferenced repeatedly with them,
but I need them now to do it without my inervention or
suggestions. Does anyone else get as nervous about this
test as I do?
