Testing Strategies

• Eliminate the wrong answers
• When doing the English test read the questions, then read the passage
• Ask teachers for clarity on words that you don't understand
• Make sure to double check your answers
• Ask the teacher to go over the test with you 

        The thing that i am going to do to prepare for the CST is to study old test and quizzes to go over standards that we learned before. Have a classmate quiz or go over the test with you to go over the wrong answers and correct them. Ask a teacher to retake any test r quizzes that you did bad on so you can get better at those standards. Also complete any missing assignments that go over the standards on CST to help you. Another way that i am going to prepare for the CST is that i am going to review old notes and homework that go over the standards that are going to be on the CST. 

        Reviewing old notes will help understand the standards a little bit better, than i did before. Also have an study partner to help you study when you needed the most because if you don't have the notes that they took because you weren't there that day, you can ask your study partner for the notes. Having these tips for you to prepare for the CST will help you get Advanced or Proficient on the CST.

Ballad Poem

This war is the deadliest that has ever happened of them all

These poor people didn’t have contact with their family

All the blood, sweat, and tears were set in the battlefield

Poor black soldiers didn’t even have a shield

Abraham Lincoln was the president during the war

The economy during the war was very poor

There were battles that were in land, also in shore

South Carolina seceded

Slavery was the issue

That kept on being repeated

The North was being surprised with some Bull Runs

All was risky with all those shot guns

It was a frustrating time, reloading bullets

This war was very difficult, but the North won

They fought a lot from night to dawn

The won even though they got bombed
