ELA Test Practice

• This is the third week of practicing an ELA testing session. This week, students should complete the assigned task independently before reviewing it as a class.

• The goal is not just mastering the specific passages but building stamina, independence, and confidence when working through complex literacy tasks.

• Support students by modeling text comparison strategies and using graphic organizers to compare and contrast different texts.

Resources

• Text Structure Google Slide Deck & Student Handbook (These have been used in previous weeks—focus on opinion text structure this week.)
