TCAP will begin on Tuesday. The first two days are the Long Write component of the assessment. The first day you will be given a prompt, time to plan using a FLEE map, and finally compose your rough draft. Wednesday is the second day. You will get a whole hour to reread your rough copy, revise, edit, and compose your final copy. You all have worked very hard on your writing and you all are super ready for this task!
The next four sessions are reading comprehension and writing. The final three sessions are math.
So, remember to get to bed early and eat a hearty, healthy, protein-packed breakfast. Our testing time slot is 11:00 to 12:15 each day. A healthy snack will be provided.
