[__2_mins.] Bridge/Hook/Opening to lesson:
Today we are going to be doing our final practice and review for the story elements test which is
occurring TOMORROW. I know that you all have the tools you need to do well on this, so lets
just practice some and see if there are any little gaps that we can fill up right now. As we go
through the questions, the program tells me which ones are being frequently missed, and we will
take the time after each quizizz to go over those particular questions and make sure that
everyone is on the same page and is ready for tomorrow.
