We today spent time analyzing questions where Kaitlin encountered some difficulty with her PSAT practice homework. First , we worked on "main point of the passage" questions in both a fiction and non-fiction context. For the non-fiction passages, I emphasized the importance of studying the first and last sentence of the passage. We further worked on a more difficult data analysis question that required the student to locate support for an argument rather than just to read the table or chart. With instruction, Kaitlin was readily able to recognize how to amend her responses to locate the best answer.
