week, students will exchange questions (without giving their partners the answers). Students will be given one minute per question to complete their partners questions. When finished, they will be given the answers and will discuss the outcome, with special attention given to items that were answered incorrectly. We want to determine the logic that led to the incorrect answers. When this is done, each student will write a report that tells the name of their partner, how difficult the questions were on a 1-4 scale (with 4 being the hardest), and what they have learned about multiple choice strategies (how they could get all the answers correct next time).

WEDNESDAY Learning TargetStudents will develop their skills in analyzing poetry. They will show their learning by answering 8 practice multiple choice questions addressing poetry.
