Ms. Atkins’ English class students have just finished reading the novel Of Mice and Men. Throughout the year, Ms. Atkins tries to vary the type of assessments she uses so that students have a variety of ways in which to demonstrate their knowledge. For this novel, she plans to use a summative assessment. Which of the following would be the most appropriate for a summative assessment?
  1. Having students perform skits of various scenes from the play
  2. Providing a multiple-choice exam on the plot of the novel
  3. Having students design a poster-board about the themes of the novel
  4. Providing an end of unit exam with multiple choice and essay questions
Explanation
Answer: D - Providing an end of unit exam with multiple choice and essay questions. This would be the most appropriate summative assessment because the purpose of this type of assessment is to determine student achievement and the efficacy of instruction. Having both multiple choice and essay questions would give students more than one way to show their knowledge about the facts and the concepts of the class work.
