April 29th, 2010 · 13 Comments · Uncategorized

Each spring we take the STAR Test.  This test can be difficult, so we created movies with helpful tips to ensure that students do their best on the test.  Please look at the movie below and leave us a comment.

    Great movie.What I liked about the movie is the steps on the test

  • vivian

    The reason why I like the movie is that you guys all try your best.

  • Gail Desler

    I agree, Dru. I’m especially glad the producers (Mia & Jennifer) mentioned to watch out for choosing the “best” answer, which is very different from a question that has only 1 “correct” answer.

    I hope everyone thought about these test-taking strategies today – your first day of STAR testing!

  • Jazmine

    All those things to do while Star Testing are great things to do. I will try those things when I get to Star Testing and I’m pretty sure I will get a passing grade.Thanks for the tips.

    That was very good.

  • Litzy

    The movie is good, because its telling students what to do before they star testing. But it could be better if the people were doing something in movement.

    Hi,again.
    That movie was really great. I like how you guys were telling the steps. The information that you guys wrote and did a voice over was great. The CST idea was great.

    Your movie is great. We allready took half of our star test.I wish you luck on the star test.

  • Mr. Needleman

    Great tips for the CST. I hope you guys did well on the test.

    In terms of helping others, your specific shots of what to do on the test…circling key words, crossing out wrong answers…are very effective in giving other students an idea of how to successfully take the test.

    Good work.

  • Mr. Needleman

    I thought the still images were mostly effective. However, the zooming in on the images could be down to focus the viewer’s eye a little better. This can be down by fine-tuning the Ken Burns in iMovie or whatever program you’re using.
