Just what you've been waiting for--a Quick Review of Indiana's critical standards to use prior to ISTEP Part 2! Have you seen the list of Critical Standards provided to you by the IDOE? I've taken the table of numbers (only!!) and put them into words so you know which standards are most likely to be tested.
Here's what you'll get:
Critical Standards—numbered and simplified
Student Progress Report for Critical Standards
Critical Standards TO DO List—no numbers, skills only
5-Day Lesson Plan with printables for student practice as you review these skills:
Reading: Literature—“The Lion and the Mouse” fable
Reading: Nonfiction--“Lion: The Kind of the Beasts” article
Vocabulary—meaning through context (words related to fable
Parts of Speech—examples from reading selections
Grammar/Usage—examples from reading selections
Everything you need is here for that last-week review before the multiple choice portion of ISTEP! It's a new year with new standards and a new test. Let me help you get organized and prepared!
