This is a nice opportunity to work with your Literacy Coach to develop a unit to support your students’ needs. You may also decide to teach a mini-unit entitled, Strategies for Test-Taking. This is an explicit way to teach students how to apply all that they have learned about reading and writing various genres and text types to formal testing situations. This can be integrated periodically across the year, once a week in February and March, or as a mini-unit in early March. If you have not already conducted a mini-unit contrasting text-based narrative writing and literary essay, this is a good time to incorporate that work.
