Assessment pages

by ljjh68

Feb 26, 2017

I am working on Component 4 for EA Science. For my summative assessment, I give both a written response and a multiple choice portion of the test. I have lots of students who are ELL so I use the multiple choice portion to better gauge their understanding because writing is difficult for them. I still have them do the written part, because that provides valuable insight as well. For my two pages summative assessment that I submit, I want to include the written response page. I want to use one that was filled out by a student. I also want to include my multiple choice questions, but there are 26 which cover three pages. What are my options for reducing that to one? Can I just list the questions asked and omit the answer choices? How are other people Formatting their examples of assessments?
