Silly Kids
Did anyone else have kids getting sort of silly at the end of the test when they were doing the PB&J dictation. I'm guessing it was partially because it was the last test, also maybe because I was writing like crazy. I haven't tackled the grading - will do it tomorrow, but I'm wondering if the silliness affects the validity of the test? Also thinking about how to avoid it next time around. Looking for comments.

I used a tape recorder to record the responses because yes, I had some kids just rambling on and on and on. You could ask if they need a small break that seemed to help with my kids that I tested.
ReplyDeleteYes, I always use a tape recorder. You might want to stress the importance of being serious during the testing.
