Exam Review Notes: Comprehensive Review for Upcoming Test
Exam Review Session Structure
Initial Group Work (Approx. 40 minutes):
Students are to work in groups to answer conceptual questions, using old tests and quizzes as resources.
Focus on vocabulary and understanding where concepts apply.
The teacher will not answer conceptual questions during this time; students must first rely on their peers.
Teacher-Led Review (After Group Work):
The teacher will cover the test format and answer any specific questions students have about it.
The teacher will then ask open questions to the class to ensure collective understanding of key topics.
Teacher Expectations:
Active participation in group reviews is mandatory and beneficial; lack of participation will result in less help from the teacher for test review.
Collaboration is encouraged, as evidence suggests it's an effective study method.
