Prep for the State Test!

NOTE FOR STUDENTS WHO STARTED 8TH GRADE IN SEPTEMBER 2010: THIS IS AN OLD POST THAT I WROTE FOR MY 8TH GRADERS LAST YEAR. YOU DO NOT NEED TO TAKE A STATE SOCIAL STUDIES TEST THIS YEAR (AND CERTAINLY NOT THIS WEEK).

Hi 8th graders!

Your state social studies test is on Monday and Tuesday.

On Monday, you will take the first parts of the test: Multiple Choice Questions and Structured Response Questions.
On Tuesday, you will complete the test by answering DBQ questions and writing a DBQ essay.

To help you study, I've posted the review notes on this blog. You can see each of the units on the right.

Here are copies of the most recent state social studies tests.
2009:
Day 1: Multiple Choice and Structured Response
Day 2: DBQ with Essay

Here's a good review site, produced by another 8th grade teacher, that has lots of state test review quizzes. Check it out!

As you know, you can e-mail me if you have any other questions. My e-mail address is mtoomajian@schools.nyc.gov. Good luck with studying!
