Have You Tried This Simple Idea to Ensure Serious Test Takers?

So often I see students blow off a test, rush through it, make careless errors, and become too lazy to show their work.  Because of this, I have to share what this 5th grade teacher did whenever her students did horribly on a test.  Many of the grades were failing.  Now regardless of whether the grades were failing or not, she will have them do this–student test reflections.  I love how she is holding the students accountable for their work by reflecting their test performance.  Just take a look below at their writing prompt.  (I am sharing this with her permission.)
