Does your child struggle with standardized tests? They are not alone! Standardized tests are not a measure of your child's intelligence, ability, or talent. However, they are still deemed necessary by our education system. Mr. Conway uses resources from real standardized tests to help students learn the secrets to passing the grammar and written portions of standardized tests. However, this is not just teaching to the tests. Students will learn the concepts they need to succeed and practice using tools and tricks that will help them take the test with confidence. What topics will you cover? Students will review the following: - Basic grammar rules - Commas, semi-colons, and other intimidating grammar and punctuation rules! - Basic paragraph structure - Basic essay structure - How to write a short answer response - How to quickly plan and write a standardized test essay - What is a good essay vs. what is a failing essay Week 1 will focus on grammar, sentence structure, and paragraphs. Week 2 will focus on essay writing. This class is best suited for 9th and 10th graders, but students in other grades struggling with similar concepts may also find benefit.
Learning Goals
- Basic grammar rules
- Commas, semi-colons, and other intimidating grammar and punctuation rules!
- Basic paragraph structure
