Instructional Ideas

  • Attach a sheet of paper or edit the document to have more space for writing 
  • Schedule time in the computer lab on day two to give participants the opportunity to type their essay 
  • Keep the assessment for discussion during parent-teacher conferences 

Classroom Considerations

  • An assessment is the first of nine in a series dedicated to reading and writing
  • Two sessions are required to complete the assessment
  • Class members should be familiar with writing opinion papers 

Pros

  • The file downloads as an editable document 
  • Directions are easy to follow 

Cons

  • Space to write short answers is limited 
  • The format is disorganized
