Collaborative+Test+Assignment


 * //Collaborative Learning “Create-a-Test”//**

You will be creating a test and an answer sheet as your final assessment for this unit. Yes - this means you will not be taking a test right before midyears YEA! For this assignment, you will be allowed to use anything from the unit (textbook, reading packet, notes, HWs) to create the test. Follow the guidelines below to create your test. Assignments that do not meet the criteria below will lose points.

This is not required, but you may want to begin by creating a review sheet of all the information covered during the unit. Using the format of the Unit Guide Sheets that you have received for other units, you may want to include: - Vocabulary terms & concepts from the unit - Significant Studies and experiments cited - Central questions or impact of the research
 * Step I - Review Sheet:**

Section I - Multiple Choice - 20 multiple choice questions - Each question should have four reasonable choices. - There should be 6-7 basic recall, 7-8 challenging recall & 5-6 critical thinking. - Remember not to question on minutia, think about **what is important**. Section II – Choice: You must have a second section. You can choose between: True/False, Matching, Identifications, Time line, Fill in the blank etc Section III - Short Answer Questions - These should be questions about main ideas in the unit. - You should have 2-3 short answers that someone could write a long paragraph answer to. - **OR** one long essay that would need to have 3 arguments to support it.
 * Test Content:** //50 Points//

- Typed - Edited for any spelling errors etc… - Consistent formatting for all parts (how you organize your sections is up to you but it should be easy to read and consistent throughout. Use old tests and quizzes to help you with ideas on how to organize the test) - Headings for each portion of the test and directions. - NO TEST WILL BE ACCEPTED HANDWRITTEN
 * Formatting:** //15 points//

- Your answer key should be a printed out version of your test with the answers filled in by a colored pen or answer is different color text (red, green, pink etc…) - You must provide answers to your writing prompts by listing the relevant information in bullet form that would be required to get all credit for the section.
 * Answer Key:** //15 points//

This is the component of the assignment that requires your group to work and function as a unit that is helping and supporting each others work. This mean that throughout the process, each group member is responsible for more than just their assigned section. There is a concerted effort for each section and a collaborative element to all pieces submitted. This means that you all are responsible for every piece submitted and should all be looking at and editing each piece that is submitted. How is this going to work? In class tomorrow, for those that are not familiar, we will be going over how to use google docs. This is a web site that requires a google email address but is free. Your group will set up an document that you will all have access to for submitting and editing the work. This tool allows you to complete one unified test and allows you to assess the progress and quality of all the work. I will go over some of the things that this allows you to do in class tomorrow. You may be able to teach me a few things to! Collaboration Requirements: - Each student chooses a section of the test to write – be careful hear to decide how you are going to divide the work considering both content sections as well as test question sections. - Each student will also choose another students section to be the primary editor of the work. This means that as your partner submits their work it is your job to edit, proofread, and most importantly assess the quality of their work in terms of content and requirements. - For the final document, each student must review the entire test and initial it at the bottom before the group can submit it. - Each student must hand in a summary of the section that they were responsible for both as writer as well as editor with the final product and a brief reflection on the process.
