Week Eight: Day 37 (Tuesday) (7:30 – 11:30) - 6

Explain how the testing works: At the end of each day for the first 3 days, there will be a 20-minute test on that day’s material. If a student scores 80% or above on that test, s/he will be excused from taking the Exit Exam sections tested. For example, if the student passes the end-of-day test on day 3 with 80% or better, s/he will not have to take the Exit Exam sections on those topics. This essentially provides them with 2 chances to pass each section, but it’s important that they shoot for passing the first time!

Everyone will take the Building Codes and Construction Communication sections of the Exit Exam on the last day.

Week Eight: Day 37 (Tuesday) (7:30 – 11:30) - 7

Each review day, except the last, follows the same pattern: review games interspersed with Work Team review time, with the end-of-day test during the last 20 minutes. Ask the students what their preferred mix of games and review time might be and what games they might include. Games and learning activities you might use include: 

• Blank tool wall game

• Eminem math and measurement raps

• Construction cards

• First Down

• Darts

• Name that…

Let the students plan the rest of the day by minutes, leaving 20 minutes at the end for the test. Be sure to include a snack break. That should leave about 3 hours and 15 minutes to plan. Write down their activity/study plan on the board, by minutes.

Approximately 3 hours and 15 min: Prepare the games students have chosen and circulate to ensure that all Teams are on task during study times. Provide time updates aloud every 15 minutes to assist in time management.

20 min: Pass out copies of Section I Pre-Test while you note the After Hours assignment on the board or PPT. If students finish early, have them study quietly for the next day. Let students work longer on the test—into their lunch hour—if they need to.

 

Out the door: Binders. Encourage each student.
