Accessing Your EOC Results and Using Your EOC Results to Guide Your Review Plan: To ensure that your review over the next few weeks is as focused as possible, you are going to access your EOC results in the student portal (txparentportal.emetric.net). Using your EOC data, you are going to identify the four time periods (chapters) from the Jarrett review book where you struggled the most on the EOC, review those chapters, and then complete some practice questions over these periods. Here are the steps you will take to determine your four priority time periods/chapters for review Step #1: Accessing the Student Portal Log in to txparentportal.emetric.net Step #2: Accessing U.S. History EOC Results Click on your U.S. History EOC results under “2017-18 School Year”.

Step #3: Finding Your U.S. History EOC Detailed Results Once you are on the page for your U.S. History EOC results, click on the “Detailed Results” tab.

Step #4: The Detailed Results Tab The “Detailed Results” tab will allow you to see, for each individual question on the EOC, which questions you answered correctly versus incorrectly. Below is an example from an 8th Grade Reading Exam. Make sure you are on this “Detailed Results” view.

Step #5: Finding the “Student Expectation” (TEKS) for Each Question For each question that you answered incorrectly, you are going to click on the blue number in the “Item #” column. You will need the “Student Expectation” number/letter for each of these questions to complete the chart on pages 4 and 5 of this packet to determine your four priority chapters for review.

Step #6: Matching EOC Results to Chapters from the Jarrett Study Book Now that you know how to access the “Student Expectation” for each of the questions you answered incorrectly, use this information to complete the “Missed Question #’s from the EOC” column in the table on the next page. You will only need to complete this step for the questions you missed, not the questions you answered correctly. In the “Missed Question #’s from the EOC” column, you will write the question numbers of the EOC questions that you missed in the row for the corresponding chapters. For example, imagine that you missed question #36 on the EOC and that the “Student Expectation” for question #36 is 7(A). You would then write “36” in the Chapter 12 row because 7(A) is covered in chapter 12 (see example below). Some student expectations appear in multiple chapters. Write the question number in the row for each chapter where the student expectation appears. For example, if you missed a question aligned to “Student Expectation” 3(B), you would write this question number in the rows for Chapter 5 and Chapter 6. Example:

Step #7: Determining Your Four Priority Review Chapters Once you complete Step 6 for each question you missed on the EOC, tally up the total number of questions you missed related to each chapter and write these totals in the “Total # of EOC Questions Missed in Each Chapter” column. (see example below). The four chapters with the highest totals in this column will be the four chapters you focus on during your review. For example, in the example below, you would prioritize Chapter 6 over Chapters 5, 7, and 8 because you missed more questions related to this chapter than the other chapters. Example:

Suggestions for Reviewing Each Priority Chapter: The review calendar sets aside three days to review each of your priority chapters. You should spend the first two days for each priority chapter reading, processing, and reviewing the information related to the time period covered in the chapter. Then, on day 3 for each priority chapter, you should take the “Checking for Understanding” practice exam at the end of the chapter and use the answer keys at the end of this packet to check your work and review your results. While reading the chapters and studying/processing the key ideas and concepts related to each chapter, you need to do something as you read to help you actively process what you are reading. Below are suggestions for how to spend your two review days for each priority chapter. Choose only one of the suggestions below for each priority chapter. Review Suggestion #1: Concept Mapping At the beginning of each chapter, there is a list of “Key Terms and People in This Chapter” (see example below).

Create a concept map (see example below) that shows how each of these terms and people are related within the time period covered in the chapter.

Each term or person will get their own bubble on the concept map. Include a definition, description, or visual representation of the term or person in the bubble. Then, connect the term or person to another related term or person. On the line connecting the terms/people, briefly describe how the terms/people are related. An outline of a concept map is included at the end of each chapter. As an alternative to this suggestion, you can also use the key terms and people to create a timeline that represents the key events that occurred during the time period in the chapter. Similar to the concept map, if you create a timeline, be sure to include a brief description or visual representation of each key event on the timeline to help you process the key ideas and concepts in the chapter as you review.

Review Suggestion #2: Vocabulary Notecards Using the “Key Terms and People in This Chapter” at the beginning of the chapter, create a notecard for each of the key terms/people. On the front of each notecard, include the term/person’s name and a visual to help you remember the term/person. On the back of each notecard, include a definition/description of the term/person and explain how the term/person is connected to one other term/person in the chapter. See the example below. The end of each chapter also has some notecard samples.

Review Suggestion #3: Reading and Answering the Chapter “Essential Questions” Each chapter begins with a series of essential questions that connect all of the information in the chapter. Create a chart (see below) of these questions and, as you read the chapter, use the information to answer the questions.

9

Review Suggestion #4: Reading and Answering the “Applying What You Have Learned” and “Learning with Graphic Organizers” Questions Throughout the Chapter Throughout each chapter are guiding questions and graphic organizers designed to help you meaningfully process the information you are reading (see examples below). One option during your review of a priority chapter is to read the priority chapter and complete these questions as you read.

Chapter Practice Exams and End of Course Assessment Practice Exam: At the end of each chapter is a “Check for Understanding” section. This section represents the practice exam for the chapter. These chapter practice exams range from 14 questions to 30 questions. The answer key for each of these practice exams is included at the end of this packet. On June 21st, the review calendar on page 6 of this packet instructs you to take a practice end of course assessment. This end of course assessment can be found on pages 392-409 in the Jarrett review book. The answers to this practice exam can be found at the end of this packet.
