Read the passage below and answer questions 1-6.

Gina and the Mustang (author/source needed)

“I don’t want to go.” Gina shuffled her feet and hung her shoulders. Mom continued packing a bag. “We’re going to Uncle Rich’s in Montana for summer vacation. He’s Dad’s brother, and we go every year.” Gina stormed out of her mother’s room. “Nobody ever thinks of me!” “That’s enough. We’re going,” replied Mom sternly. Their August vacation came sooner than Gina wanted. Before she knew it, she and the family were at Uncle Rich’s ranch. Uncle Rich grabbed her dad and hugged him. “Good to see you,” said Uncle Rich. Gina’s brother and sister were twins and two years younger, so they didn’t realize what an inconvenience and bore being on a ranch was. They raced to the barn to see the animals. Gina grabbed her bag. “I’m going to my room,” she told her parents. “Wait a minute, Gina,” said Uncle Rich. “I’ve got something to show you.” Gina watched as Uncle Rich winked at her father. “You come too,” he said to Gina’s parents. At the corral Gina saw the horse. It was chestnut with large white patches on it. It had a wide white patch that ran down the center of its face. Its tail and mane were white. Gina fell in love. “Wow! What a horse.” “He’s a mustang,” said Uncle Rich. “Mustangs are free-roaming horses who live in the wild. This one's colored like a Pinto. We found him stuck in the mud down by the creek. Don’t know how he got there. My foreman and I roped him and managed to get him out.” “What’s a Pinto?” asked Gina. “They’re a spotted breed. Some of them look like Dalmatians. This mustang is a beauty.” Gina kicked the dirt. “Can I help care for him?” Uncle Rich laughed. “You bet. The more hands we have the better. Just don’t get too attached. Once we’re sure he’s okay, we’ll let him loose. Mustangs went from over a million at the beginning of the 20th century to less than 17,000 in 1970. They were hunted for meat.” Gina felt her stomach turn. “That’s terrible.” “It’s better now,” said Uncle Rich. “The government came to the rescue. There are around 50,000 now." Still holding her bag, Gina raced to her room. She kicked off her sneakers and pulled on the boots that Uncle Rich kept in the closet for her. She was back in a flash. She went to the fence and stepped on the first rung. The mustang strolled over to her. Gina put her hand on his forehead. The mustang wiggled his head back then jetted off. At that moment, Gina knew she wanted to become a large animal veterinarian . . . and she was now glad she came to the ranch.

Read the passage below and answer questions 8- 14.

Cali Scores a Goal

by RV Staff Writer J.C.

It was the last game of the season. Cali had been playing soccer all summer. She really enjoyed running around with the other players in her bright blue uniform, chasing the black and white ball across the grassy field. As much as she tried, though, Cali still had not scored one single goal. “Don’t give up,” said her coach. Before each game, they had a practice session. He showed Cali and her team how to pass the ball to each other and take shots at the goal. Cali was pretty good at passing the ball, but even during practices, she couldn’t kick the ball past the goalkeeper. She wondered if she should quit soccer for good. “Don’t give up,” said her teammates. Some had been playing soccer for a couple of years, and some were new to the game just like her. “You just need to keep trying and you will get better.” So, Cali stayed on the team and did her best. “Don’t give up,” said Uncle George and Aunt Lisa. But it was half-time, and Cali was feeling frustrated. She was trying! Every time she got a chance to kick the ball, it would go in the wrong direction or a player from the other team would take control of it. She sucked on her orange slice and pouted. Maybe she would try a different sport next summer. The break was over and the referee blew her whistle to start the game again. The two teams walked back onto the field, both determined to win. Cali bent tied up her shoelace and heard her aunt whisper in her ear. “Look for an opportunity to get the ball. You can do it.” Cali stood up and took a deep breath. Even if she didn’t get one goal all summer, she knew that she had tried her best. That was something to be proud of. So, she smiled at her aunt and headed to her position. The whistle blew, and the game resumed. The score was tied with one goal each. The yellow team was pretty good, but Cali’s blue team was fast. The girls’ ponytails bounced as they ran, with many feet kicking frantically at the ball when it came near them. Cali was off to the side when the ball headed her way. She ran over to it and kicked it. She watched it land right in front of a girl on the yellow team who expertly stopped it and sent it back in the other direction. Cali sighed. The little girl watched the ball go back and forth between the players. Her heart wasn’t in the game anymore. Cali decided she’d wait until the game was over and then she was going to hang up her soccer cleats for good. Cali started daydreaming about becoming a hip-hop dancer instead. She was woken from her daydream by some music that was definitely not hip-hop. It was the sweet, happy jingle of the ice cream truck. It was driving right beside the soccer field, playing its music loudly to attract customers. The truck stopped. The music kept playing. The players on both teams turned to look at it. A few girls pointed to it and cheered. Some called out to their parents to buy them one. The soccer game had practically stopped. Cali looked around and saw the soccer ball close by, ignored by the nearest yellow player. Cali smiled. She looked at her aunt, who nodded at her. “Now!” her aunt yelled. Cali didn’t hesitate. She dashed over to the ball. She dribbled it between her feet, moving forward toward the net of the yellow team. By the time the other girls had noticed, Cali was positioned right in front of the net. The goalkeeper was standing to one side, also looking at the ice cream truck. She turned back quickly to guard the net as Cali kicked the ball hard. The keeper reached out her gloved hand. The ball touched the tips of her fingers as it swooshed past, right into the top corner of the net. The referee blew her whistle. “Goal!”

· My summative assessment consists of a variety of test questions. The questions range from matching, true or false, multiple choice, essay answer, and fill in the blank. Each test item is worth four points each that will equal up to 100 points. Half point grades are possible for essay questions. This depends on if the student has answered the question completely and correctly. I chose to do a variety question assessment, so that I can see how well my students understand the material on different levels. The questions are also based on different DOK levels.

· For questions missed the most, I will revisit that standard and provide the necessary instruction needed to help students reach level of mastery. Even with questions that students feel they have an understanding, but still struggle to comprehend, I will revisit those as well. I want to prepare them as best as I can, so that when it is time for a final, they are right where they need to be.
