Test Prep Action Plan

My goal for test prep is to get a good score, I will do this by doing reading practice test to understand passage questions. To make sure I get a 3 on the test I'll use schema when I read and I'll also reread until I understand what I'm reading to answer the question. The type of questions on the ELA Exam are, main ideas, inference, vocabulary, passage questions. The hardest thing on the test for me is the essay, I think it's hard because it's hard to write a good long essay in a short amount of time.

To My Parent

Dear Parent,

My biggest accomplishment in ELA so far this year is how well I read, also I've learned to understand big words by reading the surrounding text.
The unit so far that has been my best is the Freda Kahlo essay, it made me learn a lot about her life because I like doing research on famous people that effect another persons life. We've used technology this year in many ways, we use it to write essays and classwork assignments, we also use Blogging and Ning after reading a book or passage. Technology helps me learn and improve my reading and writing in away of doing research and knowing grammar. My goals this year are having a good average and learning more on understanding what i read, reading and writing is important to my future so i can have a good job, and also helps me in daily everyday life.
