The document outlines a project for students to review areas of weakness before taking the Earth Science Regents Exam. Students will first take a pre-assessment to identify weak areas and a learning strategies survey to determine their preferred learning style. They will then choose a review project from different options that addresses their learning style, such as creating a review game, illustrated book, or activity. Finally, students will take a post-assessment quiz to evaluate the effectiveness of their project.
