Reflection
The test creation process was a learning process. I enjoyed creating the test as I was able
to personalize it and make it a little more enjoyable for the students. The test was created with
the purpose of making the test motivating and engaging to students and providing a grading
rubric that provides feedback that encourages the students to grow in their writing process
(Brookhart, 2018). For the test, I made the instructions completely clear and provided prompts
and helpful tips in areas such as the essay questions. The clipart and pictures used in the test
make the tests more engaging and less bland. Some areas I could improve in is the layout of the
test. My friend Kaylee took the test. She reported that the test was engaging, and she enjoyed the
diverse questions.
