Process
1. You will be assigned to a team of 4 students.
2. Throughout your task, each member of the team must play the following 4 roles at least once:
Role 1: Leader
The Leader is responsible for making sure the Team is on-task. You will
keep the Virginia Standards in front of you to remind the group what
information you are trying to cover in the test questions your team is
creating.
Role 2: Navigator
The Navigator is the individual using the computer to navigate through
the WebQuest and other Internet Sources. You will be researching
other Departments of Education to find sample test questions similar to
the Virginia Algebra I Standards assigned to your Team.
Role 3: Creator
The Creator is responsible for creating the test questions that go along
with the Virginia Algebra I Standards that were assigned to your Team.
You will use the results of the Navigator’s research to write your own
test questions. The questions that you write should cover your
Team’s assigned Standards and should be similar to the sample questions
from the Department of Education of other states.
Role 4: Recorder
The Recorder is the individual who will write up the final draft to be
submitted to your teacher of the multiple choice test questions that your
team has created.
3. Each Team will be assigned specific Algebra I Standards.

However, you MUST COVER ALL OF THE STANDARDS ASSIGNED TO
YOUR TEAM.

Departments of Education to get ideas for the test items you are creating.
7. You must use at least 5 different states as references for the test questions you are creating.
8. Write your test questions!
9. Note: You MAY NOT copy test questions! You can only use the sample test questions as a reference.
