MYOQ - PSSA Question Writing

Your mission over the course of Wednesday and Thursday will be to create your very own PSSA style question. Our focus over the last 8 days has been on PSSA multiple choice and open ended questions, so you're all now experts.

As our assessment for this portion of our curriculum you and a partner will create a PSSA style question that incorporates the following elements:


1) A graph that shows data.

2) 4 Multiple Choice questions based on the graph.

3) 1 Open ended question that focuses on summarizing the results of the experiment.

[A detailed rubric will be available in class.]
