Always read the introductory blurb right below the Passage Number. 2.Circle all of the answers for each passage IN THE BOOK before transferring to bubble sheet. 3.

Take Timed ACT Reading Practice Test Write name on test. ============================================================= Monday 11/19 Day 1 Reading Practice: First order of business: In your ACT folder, record your SCIENCE test score on the Score Table. Date it November 15. The reading test is divided into four parts and is the third test on test day. Students get tired and start slowing down. We need to learn strategies to combat that test fatigue! You have 35 minutes to answer 40 questions on 4 passages. That means approximately 8:30 to 8:45 per passage. The number one reason students do not perform as well on the ACT Reading subtest is that they do not finish the test. The test is designed so that most students only read three of the four passages. We want to read all four and get a higher score! The ACT test must be consistent from test date to test date. The stories change but the wording of the questions does not. We can study those patterns which help students to get through the test faster and get more answers correct. As you watch, fill in this LISTENING GUIDE 1.

On sticky on front, record all 8 scores please. Semicolons and Colons Learn the 4 Semicolons Constructions Colons are used after independent clauses (a.k.a. “complete sentences”) in four situations. You can remember them by remembering the letters LEQ. L stands for list. You use a colon after an independent clause to introduce a series of items. I have three things on my to-do list for this summer: sitting, loafing, and goofing off. E stands for explanation. You can use a colon after a complete sentence to expand on what you’re talking about. This I know: Do or do not. There is no ‘try.’ – Yoda, The Empire Strikes Back While I was in Ireland, I had heaven in a cup: a Cadbury “Flake” bar in vanilla ice cream. Q stands for quote. You can use a colon to introduce a quotation. Well, it’s like Ralph Waldo Emerson once said: “I hate quotations.” ACT Tips on Semicolons and Colons View: Semicolons on the ACT View: Colons on the ACT Practice: Colons and Semicolons Comma, Colon, Semicolon or Period?

Take Pronoun Pre-test Pronoun Agreement/Pronoun Reference goes hand-in-hand with S-V agreement in the Usage section of the ACT English test. Reminder: There are SUBJECT pronouns--I, he, she, we, they There are OBJECT pronouns--me, him, her, us, them The same rules you followed for S-V agreement apply for pronoun agreement. Just like singular subjects need singular verbs, singular subjects need singular pronouns! a student=he, she students=they What is pronoun agreement? Example: If a student won't study, they won't do well. (he or she would be the correct pronoun or rewrite If students won't study, they won't...) Example: The fool gave the wrong tickets to Bob and I. (The fool gave the tickets to Bob. The fool gave the tickets to ME.) Example: I don't know who/whom to give this letter to. (Give this letter to HIM. Him=whom.) Example: Each of the girls carried their gym bags. (Each is singular, so Each carried HER own gym bag.) or The girls all carried their own gym bags. What is pronoun reference? Example: After putting the book in the desk, Mabel sold it. (What did she sell? The book or the desk?) After putting the book in the desk, Mabel sold the desk. or Mabel sold the desk after she put a book in it. Example: The supervisors told the workers that they would receive a bonus. (Who gets the $?) Try The supervisors told the workers to expect a bonus.) Example: The witness called the television station, but they didn't answer. (Who is they?) Try The witness called the television station, but the REPORTERS didn't answer. Super Tricky Pronoun Rule After a BE verb (is, are, was, were, be, been (could be, could have been), you MUST use a SUBJECT pronoun=I, he, she, we, they So, when someone calls you on the phone and asks "Is Sally there?" Sally must NOT answer "This is her." Instead Sally must answer "This is SHE." It is I (not me) who broke the window. It was he (not him) who took the blame. It could have been she (not her) who won the contest. It is I. It is he. It is she. It is we. It is they. Who or Whom? Trick he/she=who him/her=whom I don't know who/whom to write the check to. Write the check to him=whom Give the check to whoever/whomever asks for it. Give the check to him=whomever Who/Whom is the most helpful agent? He is the most helpful. He=who To who/whom do you turn when you are in trouble? Turn to him=whom Helpful Tip: When you have a compound subject, read each option with the sentence separately! Sally and me are going shopping. Sally is going. I am going. Sally and I are... Give the shopping bags to Sally and I. Give the shopping bags to Sally. Give the shopping bags to me. Give the bags to Sally and me. Whew! That's a lot to think about.
