NOW IS THE TIME TO PREPARE FOR THE LIVING ENVIRONMENT REGENTS EXAMINATION. REVIEWING OUR YEARS WORTH OF MATERIAL IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE ALL STUDENTS MUST PASS THE REGENTS EXAMINATION TO GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL. OUR REVIEW SESSIONS WILL BE ORGANIZED TO HELP YOU REVIEW THE MAIN CONCEPTS, VOCABULARY, SKILLS, AND REAL-WORLD APPLICATIONS COVERED ON THE EXAM.
THE MAIN IDEAS BREAK DOWN EACH TOPIC INTO MAJOR CONCEPTS THAT WILL HELP YOU REVIEW THE MATERIAL FOR THE EXAM. ILLUSTRATIONS, GRAPHS, AND CHARTS REINFORCE THE MAIN IDEAS. PLEASE COPY THESE GRAPHICS IN YOUR NOTEBOOKS TO HELP YOU REMEMBER KEY INFORMATION.
WE WILL DO ACTUAL REGENTS EXAM QUESTIONS FROM EACH TOPIC.
YOU WILL ALSO BE REQUIRED TO CONTINUE TO CONNECT CONCEPTS FROM DIFFERENT TOPICS. REMEMBER, SYNTHESIZING YOUR KNOWLEDGE IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE MANY CONSTRUCTED RESPONSE QUESTIONS WILL ASK YOU TO USE YOUR GENERAL KNOWLEDGE OF BIOLOGY TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS.
YOU ALL RECEIVED HANDOUTS WITH ALL OF THE VOCABULARY TERMS LISTED ALONG WITH THE STANDARDS. CONTINUE TO WRITE DOWN ANY WORDS THAT ARE UNFAMILIAR TO YOU OR THAT YOU HAVE TROUBLE REMEMBERING. CHECK THE GLOSSARY AT THE END OF THE BOOK AND WRITE THE DEFINITIONS IN YOUR NOTEBOOK. AS YOU READ EACH TOPIC, ADD ANY SKETCHES, ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, OR OTHER CLUES THAT MIGHT HELP YOU REMEMBER AND USE THE TERMS ACCURATELY IN YOUR ANSWERS....TAKE ACTIVE NOTES....
NOTEBOOKS WILL BE CHECKED TWICE A WEEK BEGINNING MONDAY MAY 19TH!!
