Test items that are mentioned such as filling in the blank with the main idea or placing a period or question mark at the end of a sentence are examples of completion test items. Completion test items tend to show an understanding of a concept rather than probable guessing of a concept (Borich and Kubiszyn, 2013). The authors state that “a lack of specificity” is a common fault within completion tests, but among a first grade rubric, an educator may be sighting emergent to proficient skills, rather than specific details that would otherwise count against the student in an older grade level (Borich and Kubiszyn 2013, p.154).
Regarding the essay item for instructional objective 2, explain two reasons why it is important to include a punctuation mark at the end of a sentence, I have chosen an extended response essay. An extended response essay gives the student more freedom in his/her answer to give knowledge and ideas regarding a topic using personal expression and organization (Borich and Kubiszyn, 2013). First grade students need extended response essays, when possible because these students are beginning to organize and communicate ideas effectively one step at a time.
