Now it's your turn! Pretend you are a teacher. Make up a question about something we have studied in The American Revolution unit that you feel is important or interesting. It will be fun to look at all the types of questions that students or other people come up with. You will not only learn how to use one of the newest communication and educational technology tools, (BLOGGING) but you will also help teachers to develop a "bank" of potential test questions. Who knows! Maybe you will decide to become a teacher someday, and you will refer back to some of these questions.
(As stated in the first blog entry, the teacher reserves the right to determine which questions will be used and what the test format will be.) Thanks for participating!

Test Questions For American Revolution Unit
This blog was created so that students or other interested parties can create potential test questions for a unit on the American Revolution. According to our school's scope and sequence, the unit on the American Revolution is taught during the 4th grade. However, since there are a variety of learners and levels among the students, any relevant questions could be posted on this blog. The teacher reserves the right to determine which of these questions will actually appear on the test, and what the format of the test will be.
