  2. TEST SESSIONS Session 1  6 Short Passages (literary, informational, poems)  30 Multiple-Choice Questions  SAT 10 (norm-referenced questions)

  3. TEST SESSIONS Session 2: This session contains two passages of more equal length. A few passages in the passage bank are paired passages (i.e., 2009 grade 3 sample book, “The Chickenpox Party”). Each passage has ten multiple-choice questions; one passage has an extended-response item.

  4. TEST SESSIONS Session 3: This session contains two or three passages. The shorter passages will have five multiple-choice questions. The longer passages will have ten multiple-choice questions and one extended-response item.

  5. FRAMEWORKS • Sessions 2 & 3 The test questions in these two sessions contain items written by Illinois teachers.

  6. Framework IssuesStudents across Illinois seem to have difficulty with items that address these topics: • Antonyms • Homonyms • Fable/folk tale/legend/myth/ fairy tale/essay • Organizational patterns • Mood and tone • Point of view • Irony • Genre

  7. More Frameworks Issues main idea vs. supporting detail inference elements of fiction author’s message type of writing character foil cause/effect identifying genre of a passage Students have difficulty making the distinction between narrative and expository writing when the expository text contains some dialogue, and events occur in time order.

  8. More Frameworks Issues • Items that require students to look back to a specific paragraph Students don’t look back to confirm the answer for a particular section of the text – or many of them don’t. • Point of view • Text structure/organizational pattern • The meaning of antonym
