Each lesson will consist of a do now exercise, of doing a portion of a sample test question from a Verbal Section, focusing on Comprehension. For the remainder of the class each day we will focus on test taking strategies for the material that we worked on for the lesson, the lessons that the questions bring up in the material.
Ultimately, each child will be prepared for the test taking conditions of the Gifted and Talented program. In my class I would be sure that each child works through the lesson that would be inherent in the test samples. These are lessons that would be important as determined by the New York City Department of Education for Gifted and Talented children.
