Test Yourself

The Learning Network Test Yourself, tests your reading and grammar skills. On this particular test the reader is supposed to read the given paragraph, with the sentences numbered, and then the reader is supposed to arrange the four sentences in the order that they feel is best.
After reading the paragraph in all of the possible orders, I had to think to myself and analyze which did I think was the best.
Testing yourself in academic situations is just as important for educators as it is students. Movements and strategies have changed since I have been in school. The way that I was taught to complete a specific task is different from the way that I teach my students the same task. As educators we need to put ourselves in the situations that we put our students in to see what the problems could be and how do we think through things, in order to teach students the ways to think through the process.
Through this 'Test Yourself' I was debating back and forth between two of the answers. By being in that situation I was able to think about both and find a difference in the two, to be able to decide on my final answer. This skill, by going through each possible answer, I will better be able to assist and teach my students the strategies when they are in the same circumstance.
