Testing Terms EOG Practice

Analyze Explain how each part functions or fits into the whole. Write the obvious as well as the hidden characteristics or meanings 6th graders tend to respond on the surface without digging deep. When you analyze something, pretend you are a detective and break the material into parts.

Persuade (argue, convince) Give a point of view! Take a stand and defend one side of an issue. Give facts, statistics, beliefs, opinions, and your personal view. Show passion when you are defending your side. Ask the following questions: Is the author’s viewpoint clear? Is the author’s opinion presented logically? Did the author use facts, observations, comparisons, or data to support his/her view? Did the author present an opposing argument? Did the author sway your opinion? How could the author’s arguments be improved?

Compare Sometimes students confuse comparing and contrasting. Comparing provides common characteristics, identifying how things are alike or similar. Analyzing differences and similarities helps students gain a greater understanding of the material.

Contrast Contrasts provide the characteristics that are not alike. How are people, events, or objects different?

Summarize Sum it up! Give the meaning in a concise way using as few words as possible. Summarizing requires that you synthesize and restate key points from text in a sentence or short paragraph. Ask yourself: “What is the author saying?” I explain to them to retell the most important facts.

Demonstrate provide a step-by-step procedure to show how to do something think about how a recipe or ’how to’ instructions are written

Describe Present a clear picture of a person, place, thing or idea. The reader should be able to visualize a picture or movie in his head from the material read.

Explain Take time to give clear descriptions of an event, object, or idea. Make sure your explanation is crystal clear. Think about the five W’s (Who, What, When, Where, Why) and H (How). Who is the story about? When did the story take place? What happened in the story? Where did the story take place? Why is this event or topic important? How did it happen?

Interpret Write your understanding of the passage in your own words. To do this, ask yourself: “What does the __________ mean?”

Infer Read between the lines; the answer is not in the passage. The reader make meaning from information or clues the author provides. Students have to be able to figure out the author’s clues. Use an educated guess like a hypothesis in science. Ask yourself the following questions to check for inferential comprehension: How did this person or writer feel? What do you think the next step will be? How does this event affect your life today?
