If you can’t face the roads or the rain, we’ve

found plenty of fun for you to have at home. If

things do clear up, we’ve also got lots for you to

choose from!

1) Paint eggs. Armed with a coloring set, box of

eggs, and newspaper spread over the kitchen

table, you can keep kids quiet for hours.

2) Learn about chocolate.

3) Play party games. There’s no reason why musi-

cal statues, musical chairs and blind man’s bluff should only be

trotted out at children’s parties.

4) Put on an Easter Play. Assign roles, invite your oldest to oversee ac-

tion sequences and leave room for the others to improvise.

5) Have an Easter Egg Hunt

6) Have a Picnic with your family

7) Fly a Kite

8) Do Experiments.

9) Head for the beach.

10)Go visit your family.

OPEN THE PROPER

MENTAL “FILES”

1. Scan the test and

look at the task

ahead of you, but

only after you have

been told to start,

and only the test that

you are going to

work on in that ses-

sion

2. Identify the genres

and subgenres of the

passages. Activate

what you know

about these types of

reading. What kinds

of questions do you

expect for an infor-

mational vs. a narra-

tive vs. a poem?

SCAVENGER HUNT

1. Read the questions

before you read the

PREPARE PHYSI-

CALLY AND MEN-

TALLY

Know that what is being

tested is not only your

knowledge of the mate-

rial but do you knot the

rules of the test.

Get a good night’s

sleep before the test.

This should take pri-

ority over entertain-

ment options.

The morning of the

test, eat a breakfast

that includes protein:

eggs, bacon, peanut

butter, cheese, yo-

gurt, tofu, etc.

BE ON TIME.

Stretch during test-

ing breaks.

mean:

Being nervous or not

caring, ruins your

performance

Be competitive with

the test makers, not

intimidated by them.

passage. Don’t read the answer choices. Do-

ing so will take too long and confuse you

later.

2. In each question, highlight the key words that

tell you what the test maker is looking for,

such as , “main idea,” “compare,” or “in the

beginning of the passage.”

3. Also highlight unusual or very specific

words/phrases that you can look for while

reading.

CONQUERING MULTIPLE CHOICE QUES-

TIONS

REMEMBER:

The multiple choice section counts for the

majority of your score.

However, writing section can raise your

grade 10%

The difference between basic and proficient

boils down to missing just one less question.

TAKE YOUR TIME AND DO IT RIGHT - so

you don’t have to do it over.

EOI TESTING TAKING STRATEGIES

Page 7

Volume 5, issue 1

Recently I was injured, specifically, stabbed. While I’m not going into the details of my situation, I realized

that a lot more could have went wrong had I not taken immediate action. Most people do not know what they

should do in events where someone is wounded, therefore the wound itself could be worsened by the panic

of ignorance. I’m going to inform you of what you should ideally do in situations such as these.

Firstly, you probably heard a million times, “If you’re stabbed, don’t pull out the item because you will

bleed out”. Now this is true, you can and will bleed out, but something that should be known is that in most

cases, after the stabbing, the person has to physically move somewhere else. If the object is still inside of

you, moving could cause it to shift, cutting more muscles, damaging nerves, and In worse cases, be pushed

deeper, possibly into a bone. Also something that should be considered is pulling out whatever object that

has pierced you is obviously dangerous as well. You might break pieces of it into you or make the wound

bigger. If you are going to

do it though, it’s best you

make sure your wound is

facing skyward so that

less blood is lost when it’s

taken out and pull it out

quickly, in the opposite

direction that it originally

pierced you in. It’s im-

perative that you keep

calm throughout the or-

deal, taking long deep

breaths so that blood is not

pumping as fast. Now,

when you are stabbed, no

matter where you were hit,

you are going to lose con-

trol of the area around the wound and possibly even any limbs connected to the area if its bad enough. You

might even lose feeling in the general area. (besides pain, that is). To alleviate the pain, do not use that limb,

or refrain from flexing that part of your body or lifting anything.

If your situation was similar to mine, you might have to wait several hours before the wound is treated. If

that is the case, you need to apply pressure and cover the wound while laying still. If the wound was made by

something unclean, and you know you will not get treated anytime soon, you may do best to sterilize it your-

self with alcohol. Similar to the above situation, if you don’t believe you will get treatment at all, then you

had best learn how to use a suture kit now before something happens. All in all, you’ll just have to adapt to

whatever the current situation is.

Safety of the internet?

By Trent Turley

Social media technologies take

on many forms including,

magazines, internet forums,

web-blogs, social blogs, and

the most popular so far, social

networking. Some of the more

popular social networks are

Facebook, Twitter, and Insta-

gram. Many opinions have

been formed throughout years

of the birth of social networks,

some good, and some bad.

Most people have used so-

cial networks as a way to

connect with friends, family,

and just people in general.

Many retailers and entrepre-

neurs have taken advantage

of social media, because of

its extravagant way of send-

ing information to an abun-

dance of people. While

many have thrived through

social networks, some have

been mislead by it. Cyber bul-

lies, the name given to those

who use social media to pro-

voke, and hurt others.

Through recent surveys given

to the students and teachers of

Pawhuska High School, cyber

bullying is a problem widely

known. According to Mrs.

Chronister, a PHS teacher,

“Cyber bullying is a deroga-

tory remark made about an-

other person, race, sex, etc. on

the internet, as well as, pic-

tures posted online that could

be slanderous”. (Cont’d on p.

11)

Cyber bullying can take a

toll on one’s own life too.

Casie Walker, a student at-

tending PHS, expressed

herself stating, “I think bul-

lying is bullying no matter

what age, and whether it

makes a lasting impression,

completely depends on that

person and their personal-

ity. Others believe that cy-

ber bullying will make one

see them as what the cyber

bully makes them out to be”.

The Cyberbullying Research

Center has found that over

80% of teens use a cell phone

regularly, making it the most

popular form of technology

and a common medium for

cyber bullying. Their research

also shows that victims are

more likely to have low self

esteem and to consider sui-

cide. Jade Johnson, another

student attending PHS has

similar views. She stated,

“The person who is bullying

keeps going on and the person

who is being bullied usually

won’t say anything to anyone

which then they’ll get so down

they’ll commit suicide”. The

same information has been found

by the Harford County Examiner

of Maryland, stating that, “Only

1 in 10 teens tell a parent that

they have been a cyber bully vic-

tim”. (Cont’d p. 12).

Cyber Bullying Wrapup

By Trent Turley

With hours and hours of

research and surveys, the

most terrifying fact about

cyber bullying is that it

cannot be completely

stopped. Mrs. Chronister

sees the problem as such, “I

don’t feel that cyber bully-

ing can be completely

stopped because of where

our world stands with

Technology; we completely

rely on the use of technology”.

While a complete stop seems to

be out of reach, steps have been

found to reduce the problem.

Lynn Connor, a Sophomore

student at PHS has given her

advice, “If you or someone you

know is being cyber bullied,

report the person doing it. I

don’t think we can stop it com-

pletely, but reporting it is a

great first step.”

While millions of people

would love the idea of a bully-

free world, a task as large as

this seems to always be out of

reach. Simple, actions such as

reporting the bully can help

improve the experience for

each individual.

Thank you to all who partici-

pated in the surveys. Your in-

sight was very helpful!
