We had a test today. (Which means this will be short as I need to get grading.)
A nice little mix of multiple choice, labeling, and constructed response which is pretty much a word for what we called an "essay question" back in the dark ages when I was in middle school.
To prepare my darlings for this, we spent part of the period reviewing how to write a good answer to a science question, how to restate the question, how to have a good topic sentence, how to use vocabulary words correctly, blah, blah, blah. They are expected to write a paragraph, and were given a choice of two out of three questions to answer.
Which makes me wonder...when did one sentence become a paragraph?
But you have to give them credit..instead of LISTENING and READING THE DIRECTIONS where it said they only had to answer TWO out of the THREE questions...they answered all three. With one sentence for each questions.
So unacceptable. And they'll be so unhappy when I make them redo it.
