In class and throughout the week we studied different assessments. Selected response assessment are multiple choice, binary choice and matching. Advantages in a multiple choice is broad sampling of knowledge , scoring is easy and objective, practice on items for high - stake state accountability tests, and more reliable and have more diagnostic power.
Guidelines for designing Multiple choice item are to write clear described question or task. Put as much info in stem instead of in response, use complete stems and short answer. When writing multiple choice write plausible but wrong distracting answers. Identify common misunderstandings or errors by students.
What are multiple choice questions good for? What knowledge do you get from these types of questions?
They are good for assessing declarative (facts) and procedural (how to) knowledge.

Awards / Applauses
This lesson was about recognizing the students for their accomplishments. When we entered the classroom the students were excited that they had finished their movie and they got noticed by both the 2nd graders, teachers and parents for their achievements. Once the students got settled down we had an award ceremony. We acknowledged both the companies and individuals for their hard work and dedication. The students really enjoyed this process and were happy to get awards and trophies. I felt like they were making believe that they were real actors and actresses receiving these awards and trophies just like they were on TV or something. I think that this was one of the most important days for the students because they got recognized by the Mount Saint Mary College teachers and students and community for all of their hard work that they put into this project. All of the students really worked hard achieving this goal and would do the process again with even more motivation and ideas than before.

The Final Action
This was the final day for Diamond Works to complete their movie. They jumped into their costumes, got their scripts and were ready to go. Again we had to remind our students that if they wanted to play around and get off topic then it was okay with us, it was their time and their movie and however it came out it came out. If they wanted to mess around with one another and joke and laugh and stay unfocused then their movie wasn't going to get completed the right way and they weren't going to have the best movie they could have. The students all agreed they were ready to get the final recording set and show everyone how hard they really worked on this project.
It did take a few tries, but cleaning up the little things were important but understandable. If the students messed up they would quickly quiet down and simply start over again. They wanted to have a great movie just as much as we wanted them to. We were running out of time and we needed the students to be perfect. We remind them that this was our last try to clean up one or two little things and how it came out was what everyone else was going to see in the presentation.
The final recording was perfect! they got into all the right places, stood correctly, spoke loud and slow, and really knocked it out of the park. From when I said "action" to the time I said "cut" it was great. Once we finished Diamond Works saw how happy the Mount Saint Mary College students were and they began to get happy and excited as well because the expressions on our faces showed that it was done and they've finished what they've been working so hard on for weeks and it came out perfect.

Almost Time For Action
In this lesson it was about getting our companies together and begin recording for our lesson. Diamond works was ahead of the game. Myself and other Mount Saint Mary College students had met with our company over our spring break to start recording and going over scripts. This lesson was just another day to get our students prepared and even more ready than they already were. They were confident in their acting and the way they presented themselves.
Throughout the lesson we wanted Diamond works to be perfect in the way they spoke, stood and acted throughout the whole movie. We were almost there but not yet just yet. We had to remind the students that they had to be adults about this situation and getting dressed up and acting out was a privileged opportunity to show others what they can accomplish. The students were very excited to start the process and excited to jump back into their costumes and begin working again. This process however did take time away from practicing our script but the students finally were ready and came to realize that they only had one more day with us to making it perfect. Diamond Works did a very good job presenting but as a company their were little things that we had to clean up to make the movie that much better. For example standing in the correct spots, talking louder and simply not wasting time in between making mistakes and quieting down again to start the movie over. Once we had these simple but important tasks down then we were ready to save our final recording and it wasn't going to happen that day. We had one more day for the students to be the best they could be and really show everyone what they had been working on for weeks.
