    • Go through how the assessment will work
    • Make predictions & complete word/symbol equations before starting whakamātau work
    • https://www.riskassess.co.nz/risk_assessment/8368055
  16. Continue Practice Test
  17. Feedback/Compare & Contrast
    • Give class-wide feedback on how to improve (assessment tips in ngā kirita)
    • Split the class into two:
      • One part learns how to do the excellence compare and contrast
      • Other part continues work on their research documents & revises for the actual test
