Multiple Choice Helpers

It is that time again.....time to start practicing test taking strategies for the state tests.  As always, I am striving to cut back on paper use to save a few zillion trees.  So...when going over our answers I began having the students use sign language for the letters A, B, C, and D.  That worked for a bit until others would look around to see what others had shown.  Then, they changed their answers and I had no clue what was even going on.  Instead of popping Maximum Strength Tylenol, I had the kids fix these neat and nifty little signs.  They could choose their own colors...so, no more copying off of others.  I simply had them hold up their flower and I could tell who had the correct answers.  I could finally monitor and reteach right then and there.

I hope this works for you!
