DESCRIPTION The Taking Tests teacher’s manual focuses on junior high students developing a Bible-based philosophy of test taking. The workbook Scripture passage, “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ” (Col. 3:23-24), is the general biblical theme.Each lesson outline includes learning objectives, a list of student and teacher materials, content overview, suggested teaching methods, evaluation ideas, and examples of integrated biblical principles. All Scripture references are taken from the King James Version of the Bible. Supplementary ideas and reproducible handouts are also included in the teacher’s manual. Adapt the lesson instructions to meet the needs of your classroom.The 18 lessons can generally be completed in twenty minutes, although some lessons require as little as ten minutes and others (especially those involving group work) might require twenty-five to thirty minutes.This study can be a graded or non-graded class. Some of the activities or tasks lend themselves to objective evaluation. The real test of the study is in the ability of the students to master test-taking strategies that will help them improve their test scores. Proof of their learning will be evident in the application of these strategies in all subject areas.
