Narrative
The assessment that I used for my World History class was able to accommodate each of my students. I made the assessment available for my students to take electronically in google classroom and I printed several copies for students who preferred paper copies (U5.2). I also submitted a printed copy to be translated to brail for my student who is blind (M5.3). The assessment included multiple choice questions as well as several written response questions. Multiple choice questions challenged my students to evaluate several possible choices and decide on the best possible answer. After grading the assessments, I was able to evaluate the subject knowledge of each of my students (M5.2). The response questions challenged my students to form their own thoughts on each question and articulate their thoughts on paper using correct grammar and punctuation. I did allow my students to make corrections to their written responses after providing them with feedback.
