Journal 4

1. Students today had a chapter test in science dealing with weather. They had been doing this chapter for a week, and even got to have a guest speaker come in from the news and talk to them. They were able to have a question answer session with the weatherman. All week they worked on reading from the book and answering quetions and having class discussions.

2. The test was its usual format of multiple choice, fill in the blanks, short answer, and problem solving. Oddly the grades were not as high as she expected. She ended up going over the test with the class because majority did not do well. She made the parents sign and reutrn these tests because this was the lowest she has seen them do this year.

3. This test was the same format as usual, but as I was listening to the students before the test, many of them said they had not studied because they thought it was going to be easier than it acutally was. The tests she gives are always covered well throughout the week. I see the sheet they study from and get to see their science assignments. They juts need to be more prepared, possibly be more motiviated.
