Reflection for Biology STAAR Mini-Test

Instructions

Do not begin this assignment until you have FULLY completed the Biology STAAR Mini-Test formative assignment first. 
You will need to have your results for that assignment open in another tab as you work through this reflection assignment. 

In this section, you will calculate your final score for the shortened practice test. 
Keep in mind, this is not necessarily indicative of how you will perform on the actual STAAR test, it can only tell you how well you performed on this particular (shortened) practice test.

Grade Short Constructed Responses:
Use the information below to grade your own answers to the two short constructed responses. Remember, each has two separate things you need to look for in your answer.

BE HONEST - Make sure you are 100% certain that your response earns the score that you choose. DO NOT make any assumptions - if you "basically" said the same thing or said "most" of what it said, but it doesn't quite meet the rubric, it may not count!!!!
If you are in between or uncertain, ask me for help!

ANSWER FOR #7:
The student states that active transport is used in the process AND the movement of sodium and potassium ions requires energy (ATP) because they need to be pumped against their concentration gradient from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration.
If you are having trouble scoring this one, you can also click here to open and view the official Scoring Guidelines for this question, which includes example student responses that were scored as 0, 1, or 2 (and explanations for each). The example responses start on Page 4 of the document!

ANSWER FOR #11:
The student states that the sun is the source of all energy for the energy pyramid AND that energy is lost as you move from one trophic level to the next (from the bottom of the pyramid to the top).

Total Score Calculation:
Use your results from the practice test and your answers for #1 (constructed response scoring) to fill in the blanks below correctly.
Score on Practice Test = _______ 
*This is just the total score you earned from the Practice Test auto-graded questions.*
Score for Constructed Reponses = _______ 
*Add together the scores you gave yourself in the previous question. For example, if you earned a "2" on both short constructed responses, you would put a "4" here.*
Total Points = _______ 
*Add together the two numbers above (score on practice test + score for constructed responses). For example, if you scored a 20 on the practice test and a 4 on the short constructed responses, you would put a "24" here.*

Overall Percent of Points Earned = _______ %
*Take your Total Points, divide by 25, then multiply by 100. This is your final percent score.
For example, if you scored a "24" overall, you would have --> 24/25 = 0.96 X 100 = 96%
You do not need to type the percent sign, as it is already provided for you. Just type the number.*

In this section, you will review your practice test to determine if you performed better or worse in certain topics.

Self-Reflection
Look back at how many you missed out of each topic area in the previous section, and think about how comfortable you felt with this mini practice test.
In the space below, write a minimum of 3-4 sentences fully addressing the following questions:
What topic area(s) did you feel the most comfortable with and why?
What topic area(s) did you feel the least comfortable with and why?
What can you (reasonably) do to better prepare for the topic area(s) you are least comfortable with, before the actual STAAR test?
What did you learn about the STAAR test itself (types of questions, format, topics, wording, etc) from this process, and how can you use that information?

In this section, you will let me know what you would like to do with any remaining time in class, and what topics you would most want me to review with you.

Assuming we have enough time remaining in class after this, which of these options would you most prefer to do with that time?
Choose only one.

[OPTIONAL]

If you have any specific requests or questions for a whole-class review/discussion, please add them here. If not, leave this blank.
The question after this will give you a chance to ask me specific questions that you just want an answer to, and don't want to go over as a whole class. Use this blank only for questions you specifically would like to go over together as a whole class.

If you have any specific requests or questions for me to respond directly to you about, please add them here. If not, leave this blank.
I will try to reply to all questions here on formative today during class! :)
