As a future teacher, I am reaching out to other teachers who have some suggestions on how to teach the PSSA content to students without directly stating to the students, "we are going to work on Persuasive essays because that is what is on the PSSA's". I don't want to directly teach the test but I want to best prepare my students. Here are some of my suggestions:
Teach the students the test plus more-If they are working on Persuasive essays, teach them how to write Persuasive essays AND apply it to real life. Work on some vocabulary words and strategies to writing the essay.
Do vocabulary exercises everyday at the beginning of class- kids will be learning vocab without directly relating it to the test.
What are some of your suggestions?
