Description: This class will focus on preparing students for the four sections of the ACT test (English, Math, Reading, and Science), will devote time to the writing components of both the ACT and SAT, and will help students develop college application essays. The class components will include learning and practicing strategies specific to the ACT, reviewing content related to the four sections, discussing writing strategies, evaluating sample essays, and brainstorming application essay topics. Outside of class, students will watch a variety of supplemental videos, take sample tests for each of the sections, continue their review of the content included in the ACT, write essays for the ACT and SAT, and write rough and final drafts of college application essays. Students will use the text, ACT Premium Prep, and a variety of handouts related to the ACT, SAT, and Common Application. This class will be team taught by Mrs. Witthuhn and Mrs. Rohmann.
