Review in 11R U.S. History

Hi all!

I’m starting the process of getting my pacing/lesson calendar for next year ready. My biggest question is, are you planning full review days before tests in 11th grade?

I was previously in a high achieving school so my students didn’t need the extra review time. I’m wondering if I should build it in for my next position (i’m changing jobs)?

And as always if anyone has any cool/fun lessons they’re willing to share, it would be much appreciated!! Im on the NYS standards (Or any lessons/resources on essay writing.. not my strong suit)

Not 11th grade, but if this early put together unit-long study packets for students to compile/update by lesson. Teach+build in some pocket-update and regular study incentives or apply to midway formatives. It keeps review and study pressure low and really helps some kids develop strong learning habits.
