8th Grade Study Skills Study Guides

I Have, Who Has? Review Activity

Brief description: Engage students with this fast-paced interactive review activity where students listen, think, and respond to their peers.

Make a list of the key vocabulary terms, specific content, people, and/or events that you would like to use for the activity. Next to each one write the definition or explanation you want the students to practice using. This first step will help you when you go to create the actual cards.

Using key vocabulary terms, specific content, people, and events create cards with an answer on the top beginning with the term, The first card will state, “ I have the first card…” and then the first question will be stated beginning with the phrase, “ Who has…?”. The answer to the last question will be on this card. The second card will begin with the answer to the question from the first card beginning with the phrase, “I have…” then beneath that response write the question for the next answer beginning with the phrase, “ Who has…?”. The next card will have the answer to the previous question. Repeat this process until all questions and answers are accounted for.

See attached example for 7th grade Civics

Process: Give each student 2-3 cards depending on the class size. Give students time to think about the terms on their cards before beginning. Make sure they don’t have cards that are in order. This way they need to be paying attention during the whole activity. The student who has the first card starts. Continue until all the cards have finished. This is designed, so you can do it multiple times and students can have different cards each time.

Scaffolding Tips:

Work with partners

Have students create hints for the questions on their cards

Provide hints on the back of each card

Great End of the Year Test Prep! Use this great resource to keep your students aware of the essentials they must know during their middle school years. The Essential Skills resource page can be used as a teaching tool as skills are being taught, or use it as a review tool toward the end of the year. Each section has blank spots (red sections) for students to fill in and apply the knowledge they have learned. There are two included activities to help students practice using the reference tool. • The scavenger hunt pages should be cut in half (there are two questions per page) and posted around the room. The student start at any point and travel to each question using the reference page to help them answer the questions. Answers are filled in on the answer page. The questions range in difficulty from simply copying formulas, to applying formulas to solve. • The second activity is a seat work assignment where students must apply the information from the reference sheet to solve problems. This resource is great for students in 7th and 8th grade, but can be used very effectively for intervention students that need extra support with remembering previously taught skills. It is also a wonderful tool for advanced students that can independently work ahead on more difficult skills. Check out Kile's Classroom for other activities! Prime Factorization Math Mission.
