Instructional Ideas

  • Have small groups discuss Daylight Savings Time to brainstorm ideas for their writing
  • Provide readers with sticky notes, highlighters, and other tools to mark up the text

Classroom Considerations

Pros

  • The test questions address many Common Core standards
  • Writing prompts include organized guidelines with bullets and bold text
