Getting ready for Standardized testing

Motivation: we gong to make a film. We are going to spread the word on the best test taking strategies we can think of.

We will brainstorm and use Thinking Maps ( circle map) to list ideas for successful test taking
We will then interview thirds, fourth and fifth graders to get more ideas.
We will prioritize and sort the strategies.
We will get signed release forms from parents to videotape their children.
We will then form teams of four to create skits that we will film followed by interviews around campus of students who scored advanced proficient on the 2010 tests.
We will edit, add special effects, and prepare to show our video on campus as a kickoff to test taking and to serve as an inspiration to try their best.

It Will be filmed using a Flip Camera , MacBook and edited with iMovie.
