Day 9: Practice CAT-W #2

1. Review of strategies
2. Frewrite: For 5 minutes, write nonstop on the following:
Taming the CAT!
What are your fears about the CAT?

3. You will have one hour and thirty minutes to write a practice CAT by hand. You may use a paper dictionary only. Cell phones must be off. You cannot talk to each other, ask me any questions, or get up once the exam has begun. I will call time after 30 minutes, 1 hour, 1 hour and fifteen minutes, and when there are 5 minutes left to help you with the pacing.

Your essay must have:
  1. A summary of the passage.
  2. A claim or thesis responding to a significant idea in the passage.
  3. At least 2 body paragraphs, each with 
  • a reason and evidence to back it up
  • a reference back to the reading
     4. A conclusion

This will be Print Piece # 8.
