Additions to Unit Activities

Units 5,6 and 7 ask for current national, international and state test scores. I divide the class into groups and give each group 5-7 minutes to analyze one report (ie TIMSS for Math); they are to put 5-7 of the most important items from the report into bullets on a poster sheet and then report out.
