Good morning,
Regarding Judy's comment "I am less convinced
of their importance on the actual exam as there only 2 HOTS questions and
there are still alternative question options as far as I know." The
questions we "train" our students to write are the HOTS questions and the
BTC. The HOTS questions are worth 15 percent each, and this week, for the
last time, the BTC is worth 30%. So, if the students haven't been taught
the buzzwords or and the ins and outs of how to answer the questions
according to the rubrics, their grade will plummet. That's where we're
wasting time - memorizing bagrut - taking tactics. Some of my students will
never forget All My Sons - they really got into it - but we've gone into
overkill mode. But, hey, that's ok, they decided to take my 12th graders on
a trip today so we don't take up more time reviewing than necessary...
