Circle: "What do adults forget about being a teenager?"

Students have the option of working on two different activities. 

(Option 1)  I have included a practice test.  Each student should be working on this individually.  When they are done with the test tell  them to pair up with someone else who is finished and compare answers.  After they have compared answers, give them the answer sheet and tell them to go through and identify areas that they need to study more.  

(Option 2) The other option is to work on creating the note cards that are due on Thursday, the day of the exam. The list is included on the class blog.  (Vocabulary Words Here) Remind them that these need to be completed for class on Thursday to have the minimum of an 80 option.   Please remind them that they should include both the definition and if possible a self-reference. 

If they did not finish the test, or they didn’t get to take it because they were working on notecards, please give each student one to take home with the answer sheet.
