Test Prep Plan WEEK 9

Week 9: Critical Thinking This week, we focus on critical thinking strategies that will help students approach ELA test tasks with a logical, structured plan. Inspired by Joan Sedita’s Writing Rope, we emphasize the interconnected skills of organizing, drafting, writing, and revising—not just in writing, but in test-taking as a whole.
