What I have found is that the old way of test taking is not working. The students are not really interested in book material, so every once in a while, I let the students write their own test as it relates to the subject taught and relevant material . It also give them a "Dog in the fight".
Believe it or not, many have similiar and a little above average test scores from the traditional way of testing which I have found very interesting. I also have them grade their own tests.
I also have random students write daily lesson… >>>
