It includes basic recall and requires students to comprehend what they read. I can tell you spent time on this assignment. I love the fact that you have a critical thinking section. Your question are varried and come in different forms. Kudos on having your true false section require false statements to be made into true ones (I will be stealing that at a later date.) I have broken down each section into structural feedback and content feedback. I hope that makes it a little easier to understand. Erin P.S. I cannot figure out how to spell check on this wiki, so please ignore my horrible spelling (I do not function without spellcheck :)). True/Flase section Structure 1- Assign a point value for your questions 2 - Where should students write True or False? 3 - In question 8, Holland needs an apostorphe, Holland's, to show possesion. 4 - In question 10, I am un clear on performance art show. Is that the name of the show (all caps), or is that what you are calling it (no caps)? Content 1 - In questions 1 and 3, how many times are these things mentioned? Is it important to the plot? It seems to be vague questions, but keep in mind that I have not read this book. I may be totally off. 2 - These questions seem to be simple recall questions. Great way to start the test and give students confidence. Multiple Choice section Structure 1- Assign a point value for your questions. 2 - Question 19 begins on one page and ends on another. 3 - In questio 18, faiths shoud be Faith's. Capitolize and show posession. 4 - In question 19 doughnut is misspelled. Also answer B and D are the same. 5 - Some of your answer choices are complete sentences but they do not have capitolization or punctuation. 6- In question 14, you have a random "o" in the middle of your question. Just a typo. Content 1 - In question 11, how important is the location of the locker to the story? (Again, I may be way off) 2 - Question 16 seems vague. Who was Holland describing to and when? Short Answer section Structure 1- Assign point value. 2 - Question 26. This is either 3 seperate sentences or you need to combine the ending two sentences. How are they alike? How are they different? OR How are they alike, and how are they different? Also alike is one word. You may want to use the word describe. "Describe how they are alike." Content 1 - In question 23, isthere one specific moment that Holland had this realization? Did it happen over time? Is it possible that this is an opinion question, and if so, how will you grade? 2 - Question 24 and 25, also opinion questions. How will you grade? Critical Thinking Structure 1- Assign point value. Content 1 - The non-artist in me cringed to read this question. It seems to be based on the student's skill as an artist. How will you grade a stick figure compared to a very good drawing? What are you looking for?

Becky, This is a great test. You cover basic recal as well as make students think. You directions are very clear and well written. You use different types of questions and the difficulty increases as you get farther into the test. I have divided my feedback into structure and content for each section. Hope that makes it easier on you. Erin P.S. I cannot figure out how to spellcheck on this wiki, so excuse my mistakes. Multiple Choice or True False section Structure - 1 - Number your questions. This was the first thing I noticed. It makes talking about the test very difficult. 2 - Do you realize your first 6 answers are A? If I was a student, I would assume that at least one of them were wrong and try to change it. You may want to concider rearranging the answers. 3 - Question 11 is your only D answer. It is also the only time you have D as an option. You may want to make all of your multiple choice questions with 4 possible answers. 4 - Question 8 has some funny capitolization in the answers. 5 - In question 10 answer C, why did you cap the word No? 6 - In question 12 answer C, the last word should be alone. 7 - Question 6 does not make sense. Content 1 - Question 7 feels like an opinion question. Does the book specifically say that her parents are more concerned with her declining grades over everything else? 2 - Question 11 is an opinion question, "Why do you believe" yet the answer is multiple choice not allowing for an opinion. Maybe this should be a short answer question. 3 - I may be totally off, but couldn't question 13 be B or C depending on personal opinion? Short Answer section Structure 1 - When reading your directions, you are specific about one to two complete sentences, yet most of your bullets for answers have 3 or 4 things you are looking for. Maybe you should not limit it to two sentences but rather " In a minimum of two complete sentences." 2 - I am confused by the cap of Lab Partner in question 16. 3 - Number questions. Content 1 - I think these question are great. Essay section Structure 1 - Very clear directions. I will be stealing these in the future :) Content 1 - In question option 1, You use the term "young people." Remember, your students do not concider themselves as young people, they just concider us old people. It can sound condescending. Try the word students instead.
