This is a school-wide information hub about the basics of AVID, AVID data, AVID elective classes and AVID Club. Check it frequently for updates and information. I will still be posting updates on our class blog (here) and on the AVID website under the 12th grade tab so all info is at your fingertips!

SAT Creation

You are creating an electronic SAT "quiz" for your peers!

• You will create 10 SAT questions


• You must have at least 2 questions from each of the the reading, writing and math sections-the remaining questions can be from any section you prefer.


• You must provide answer choices and be able to explain to the correct answer to the class!


• You may use any web/computer tool of your choice (i.e., powerpoint, prezi, word doc...)
(You must SAVE your work via flashdrive so you may easily pull up your work from anywhere OR you may email me your saved work!)

• Make it engaging and HELPUL!

Make sure when you create your visual, you have the question first and answer choices after so your peers have a chance to figure out the questions before you reveal the answer! You will be presenting the questions individually to the class at random. So, be ready by Thursday!
