Melbourne High

In Mrs. Collins ENV SCI class, students have been preparing for the Ducks Unlimited testing. In class, throughout the year, students have been covering multiple topics and maintaining that information. Prior to the test, the teacher assigned each student online assignments like Quizlet, and booklet. These assignments revisit past, and present learned topics, as the test is a mixture of topics. 

Although the online assignments are due and meant to be completed, it also serves as a very helpful source of studying. Practicing is very helpful and likely results in success. With the responsibilities of staying on task, completing work, and studying for tests, students needed to be sure to keep up with their lifestyles as well. Such as maintaining good schedules, getting good sleep, and eating a good breakfast. Right before the test, Mrs. Collins held a generous breakfast for students, in her classroom. This was surely helpful in motivating students before the big test.

Coger said, “Environmental Science is not only a super interesting to learn about, but the class is very nice as the teacher assigns helpful assignments for us.” Students spent time going through the assignments, and were able to keep studying them even after turning them in. Coger said, “ I am so grateful to those Quizlets, because they helped me memorize the answers to the questions.” She also said, “Not only am I likely to perform well on my test, but I have actually learned new things.”  “This class has been immensely useful.”

Another student, in the same class is 12th grader, Alex Cedar. Cedar said, “I am glad I took this class because we learn new things, and have had many ways to practice for the Ducks Unlimited Test. “During the days we spent practicing, we were also getting work done. Which helped me with time management.” Cedar also said, “In the morning, the day of the test, The teacher had breakfast set out for the class which was very helpful.” “After this test, we can look forward to future field trips this class offers.” Majority of students in this class share a feeling a joy and appreciation for the materials given to them, and the work they put in leading up  to the test.
