Suggestions for Reviewing for Civics & US History
Reviewing for the EOC Suggestions for Reviewing for Civics & US History There are 3-4 weeks of review allocated in the pacing guides, one week per reporting category. Speak to Test Chair to find out exact date of the EOC so that you can plan accordingly. Plan review camp for days immediately prior to EOC if possible. Speak to your administration about offering after school or Saturday review sessions. Conduct pull-out intervention during non-core class time or homeroom, if possible. Work with other teachers in your department (COLLABORATE!) These benchmark clarifications also are reflected in the content portion of the pacing guides.

What is a “Review Camp”? Targeted in-house review in which students rotate through various sessions to review essential content prior to the EOC exam. Targeted to specific students Which students to target? How to find out who these students are? Targeted to specific benchmarks Which benchmarks to target? How to find this data? Use active and engaging strategies and provide incentives

Model A What are the pros & cons of this model?
4 days, 2 blocks of review sessions per day (2 hr. 40 min.) Targeted “bubble” students Targeted ALL benchmarks Students rotated through teachers (7 teachers/7 sessions going on at same time) Each teacher assigned 2 benchmarks to review – use Escambia practice questions, Gateway review cards and blank concept maps, and an activity Final day (day 4) – culminating activity in afternoon, wrap up activity ( Auditorium)

Model B What are the pros & cons of this model? 3 days
3 days All students invited to attend for one full day Targeted ALL benchmarks Each teacher responsible for reviewing 2 benchmarks in ~50 minutes Teachers rotated through rooms, while students remained in the same room all day, even during lunch

Model C What are the pros & cons of this model?
One full day, selected students Targeted 3 or 4 benchmarks (three lowest Benchmark of School) Students assigned to one of two classrooms, and one teacher facilitated one classroom review session all day Used Gateway materials (review cards and concept maps), Escambia practice questions, online videos Students did activities and worked in groups Break for lunch with school providing incentives (pizza lunch, cookies)
