To support Kendra’s decision to no longer talk to her friends. c. To explain why Kendra’s dad was so upset. d. To describe Kendra’s negative feelings about the situation. Correct Answer: C, Amused Evidence: She grins when she thinks about what her friends did. Correct Answer: A Evidence: Grinning usually means that you are not upset.

Story #1: Organized Crime 3. Kendra can best be described as… a. Pessimistic b. Grouchy c. Serious d. Playful Correct Answer: D, Playful Evidence: She does not take what her friends did seriously because she is grinning in the end.

Story #2: Timber! 1. Which of the following could be used to describe Felicity’s dad? a. Angry b. Easily provoked c. Proud d. Intelligent Correct Answer: C, Proud Evidence: He says ‘It’s about time we enjoy the beauty of our land’

The family chops down their Christmas tree b. 1. The family clears the land 2. Felicity’s family chops down a Christmas tree 3. Felicity’s family took the train 4. The family traveled on wagon c. 1.

Correct Answer: A Evidence: The family had to move first by train, then wagon to get out of the city. Then they had to clear the land. Finally they are now chopping a tree.

Testing Strategies you MUST do during the Reading Interim 1. Before you read, mark with a where you will ‘STOP and JOT’. You can stop every 2-4 paragraphs, depending on how long each paragraph is. 2. When answering the questions, GO BACK IN THE TEXT TO FIND EVIDENCE/ANSWER! 3. When you find your answer, EXPLAIN how you know your answer is correct using a college level sentence. - Example: ‘I know this is correct because the girl ‘grins’.

Where do we do the ‘Stop and Jot’s and Explain Our Answers: Stop and Jot: Explain your Answer Fold your sheet of paper in half. On the left, write ‘Stop and Jot’. On the right, write ‘Explain your Answer’.

Reading Testing Tips! Read the questions first before you read the passage. Read all the answer choices before you pick your answer. Use process of elimination to reduce answer choices. Check your answers before you ask for your bubble sheet.
