Today the students were briefed on the CRCT review goals we have leading into this exam. The students were provided with a copy of the standards. They were then provided with information on their upcoming review project where they have to create an infographic on one of a variety of Reading and ELA concepts. They had to follow the steps below:
___Step 1: Choose a topic
- Clauses (independent and dependent)
- Dependent clauses (noun, adjective, and adverb clauses)
- Phrases (infinitive, prepositional, and appositive phrases)
- Direct objects vs. indirect objects
- Figurative language (metaphors vs. similes)
- Figurative language (assonance vs alliteration)
- Hyperboles

___Step 2: Choose a color scheme (make sure the colors match)
___Step 3: Research your topic
