Table of Specifications: Creating Selective Response Assessment

Grade Level: 8th
Subject: Language Arts



Analyze simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex sentences correctly, punctuates properly, and identify fragments and run-ons.

When creating the chart of my assessment and deciding what type of question I would be asking and how many of each question I would ask I considered my instruction and the skill that is required by the standard. I determined I would use knowledge and understanding questions, analysis questions, as well as classification questions. The need for students to have a basic understanding and knowledge of the subject matter is key so, I chose to use two questions for each item of the content. Analysis questions will be used to allow students to break down all the parts that make up a sentence in order to be able to identify different types of complete sentences as well as sentence fragments and run-ons. I chose to have my students’ complete two questions for each content item. Classification is necessary for students to be able to identify and label different types of sentences.
