The end of school is drawing near, and the teachers are just as excited as the students.  Many of us teachers have exams all prepared and scheduled.  Mine sure are!  Having exams ready to give lowers my stress level.

Making a final exam is not as easy as it may sound.  I don’t want to give a huge test; instead, I want to sample several topics I think students should have the vocabulary to write about.  There is a second part to the test for students to speak the language.  I asked my students for topics they are comfortable discussing, and I will choose from those.  Once they know what to work on, they can be prepared!
