FEEDBACK

Too many true-false questions
Multiple choice seemed to be too trivial rather than testing higher level thinking

There are no answer keys to these quizzes. I would not have bought it had I known that. Wish I could get my $ back.

Sorry. Please note that the description does not say that there is an answer key. I do not know how refunds work.

I'm very disappointed in the test. Feel like I wasted my $3. The test is very short and does not encompass the book or the signifigance in it's entirety.

This was just what I was looking for in terms of teaching this with a higher end middle school class. No pictures, diagrams, or clipart--just a good study guide and good 50 question test with essays.

simonblackcat re: "Orbit" Space Exploration Project and Test
Thank you for clarifying . The unit is fabulous!!
May 21, 2013
Mary Ciccone-Cook (TpT Seller)
Thanks! Did you get the two free PowerPoints that introduce the novels and the project?
May 21, 2013
simonblackcat re: "Orbit" Space Exploration Project and Test
Is there an answer key or rubric?
May 20, 2013
Mary Ciccone-Cook (TpT Seller)
No, because each student will choose different facts to write about. I'm going to give my students 2 pts. for each topic they write about with 0-2 pts based on how well they develop the fact. I'm going to have them choose 25 facts because we only have a 55 minute period that day. If you want, over the summer when I make out the objective test, I can locate the page numbers where each fact is located and add that to the test and then re-upload it.
May 21, 2013
simonblackcat re: Space Exploration in the Twenty-First Century
In fact, I can post the summary/short answer style now
Where can I find these novels? Are they in the this unit or under a different name?
Thanks1

Mary Ciccone-Cook (TpT Seller)
I'm about to post them. I had them saved on my school computer. They are called "Orbit" Project and Test #1, "Crater" Project and Test #1, and "Back to the Moon" Project and Test #1. I'm also posting an introduction to the first two books and the overall project as a free PowerPoint entitled "Off to Space Project Introduction." I will be posting another free PP entitled "Exploring Space Project Introduction" to go along with the research project for sale.

simonblackcat re: Space Exploration in the Twenty-First Century
Thank you so much! I look forward to using Orbit, Back to the Moon and Crater this summer for my kids!!

Mary Ciccone-Cook (TpT Seller)
You'll be my incentive to have the objective tests for all three books completed by the end of August! I needed the incentive! LOL
p.s. I will post the three novels separately.

simonblackcat re: Space Exploration in the Twenty-First Century
I recently purchased the Space Exploration Unit. Do you have a test for the Martian Chronicles? Also, do you have other Space novels with test material for this unit?
May 19, 2013
Mary Ciccone-Cook (TpT Seller)
Yes, I do have a test for Martian Chronicles--which I thought I had posted but if not will get that posted this week--and I'm in the middle of developing tests for three other space novels: Orbit by John J. Nance, Back to the Moon by Homer Hickam, and Crater by Homer Hickam. The latter is a young adult novel. I have my 9th graders reading the two former ones right now. I will be posting two different types of tests. In fact, I can post the summary/short answer style now and the objective style by late summer. I'm going to have my 9th graders read Crater next year. Oh, I also have stuff for Ender's Game posted. Orbit and Back to the Moon have adult themes in them a little cussing but my students and parents were made aware of that and if they objected then the student would have been given Crater to read. However, there were zero objectives out of 115 students! I will also post another space exploration project that my 9th graders are currently doing.

Hello, I just purchased and downloaded your quizzes and there is no answer key. I received an 8 page document ending with short answer questions. Please advise. Would you be willing to email them?
April 18, 2013
Mary Ciccone-Cook (TpT Seller)
Oh no, I thought I had uploaded the one with the answer key. I will upload it now and have it set that you can then access it since you bought it. So sorry! Mary

rbourlotos re: "Much Ado About Nothing" Quizzes for Acts 1-5
Do you include the answer key?
April 17, 2013
Mary Ciccone-Cook (TpT Seller)
Yes, there are answer keys at the end of the document. By the way, I am finishing up "Much Ado" with my 9th graders right now. using the quizzes, the activities, and the test all in combination have worked well for this unit. I have the quizzes, activities, and test all for sale here.

Hi Mary,
I recently purchased your quizzes for The Diary of Anne Frank and am wondering if you would tell me where each section begins and ends.
Thank you,

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
For the past 25 years I have taught everything from junior high (7th and 8th grade) English, including gifted ed, to university English and education, to adult education in a vocational rehabilitation center, to high school English, with an emphasis on AP Language and AP Literature. I currently teach at a STEM school that has an aviation and aerospace theme. I also have nearly ten years of online teaching experience.
MY TEACHING STYLE
Being a bit ADD myself, I prefer variety--everything from mini-lectures to small group activities to individual writing assignments so I can work with students one-on-one. I prefer hands-on activities and projects.
HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT
Is this the bragging section? Although I have enough certificates and plaques to cover a wall--everything from Who's Who to USA Today--Teacher Team to teacher of the year for two school districts, my best honor is when students come back after graduation and say: "Gee, you made college so easy! I can write my essays practically in my sleep. Thanks for preparing me!"
MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY
B.A. in English, MEd., and hours and hours and hours of professional development!
ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
Reading to me will always be a REAL book, allowing me to curl up on my favorite chair with blanket, tea or wine, and a cat or two on my lap.
