The Summative Assessment Quest - (Evaluate 1.1.3)

Summative assessments give a post-unit snapshot of how well the class has learned or mastered the material.  A quality summative assessment will also give an educator the information they need to either move on to the next unit with confidence or perhaps decide to complete a bit of reteaching on specific areas students might have struggled with grasping.  

I have created the following test over Descriptive Language.  This is a summative assessment I have created but as yet have not utilized.  The validity of the questions are assessing whether or not student have learned and are able to recognize the qualities of seven descriptive language techniques:  alliteration, metaphor, simile, idiom, hyperbole, personification, and onomatopoeia.

Reliability will be tested an assessed through the spread sheets created through Google forms once the test is taken by the appropriate class of students.  Security has been set up by changing the order of the questions as well as changing the order of the multiple choice responses.  Upon implementation, this test would be allotted as short a time period as is reasonably possible to ensure that students are answering from their memory rather than looking up the responses.  The reports derived from the test takers' responses would give me ample resources to double check for validity and reliability.
