Structure of the Grade 7 Reading ISAT

ISAT Reading testing in spring 2010 will consist of 30 norm-referenced items, as well as criterion-referenced items. The 30 norm-referenced items are an abbreviated form of the Stanford 10Reading assessment, developed by Pearson, Inc. The criterion-referenced items are all written by Illinois educators and pilot tested with Illinois students.

Item Formats

All items are aligned to the Illinois Reading Assessment Framework, which defines the elements of theIllinois Learning Standards that are suitable for state testing.

Multiple-choice items require students to read and reflect, and then to select the alternative that bestexpresses what they believe the answer to be. A carefully constructed multiple-choice item can assessany of the levels of complexity, from simple procedures to sophisticated concepts.

Extended-response items require students to demonstrate an understanding of a passage by explainingkey ideas using textual evidence and by using this information to draw conclusions or makeconnections to other situations. The extended-response items are scored with a holistic rubric and countas 10% of the scale score of the test.

Reading Sessions

All standard time administration test sessions are a minimum of 45 minutes in length. Any student whois still actively engaged in testing when the 45 minutes have elapsed will be allowed up to an additional10 minutes to complete that test session. More details about how to administer this extra time willappear in the ISAT Test Administration Manual. This policy does not affect students who already receiveextended time as determined by their IEP.

Sometimes it takes the kindness and interest of just one person to change the way we look atlife. This passage tells about one girl’s experience with such a person.

New Friendsby Patricia Russo

1 Dad had gone to work, and Mom and I were alone in our new house, which was in anew city — in a new state. Dad was happy about his new job, and Mom was busy-busy-busy, getting everything unpacked and sorted out.

2 I was alone. Mom was looking out the window. She loved our new neighborhood.3 Suddenly Mom got excited. Turning, she grinned and gestured for me to come to the

window.4 Now what?5 On the other side of the street, I saw four or five kids. Yeah, five: three girls and two

boys — all about my age. They were laughing and shoving each other playfully.6 I looked at Mom.7 “Go over and say hello,” she instructed me.8 “Are you kidding me?” I signed.9 Mom did one of her flash frowns, making her face scrunch up. “I’m not kidding you,”

she signed. “Go make friends, Ronnie. These are the kids you’ll be going to school with inSeptember.”

10 She was right about that. In only a couple of weeks, I was going to go to public school.The Board of Education had told my parents that there’d be no problem. They had threefreelance interpreters on their list, so in case the main one got sick or something, there’dalways be someone to cover her shift.

11 I felt O.K. about going to public school —nervous but not really freaked out. However,there was no way I was going to go outsidenow and make friends with a bunch of totalstrangers.

12 “They can’t sign,” I pointed out.13 Mom rolled her eyes. “Nobody’s born

knowing sign. Nobody’s born knowinganything. I learned. Your dad learned. Teachthem.”

14 What? Suddenly I was Miss JuniorAmbassador to the hearing community? Icouldn’t believe Mom was serious.

15 She was. Grabbing my arm, she dragged meto the front door. “Go make friends.”

16 I still can’t believe what she did next.17 She shoved me out the door and shut it

behind me.

17GO ON

Reading

18 Of course the kids across the street turned and looked. I’d look, too, if a skinny, red-haired girl had just been bodily ejected from her own house.

19 Heart pounding, feeling like the supreme dweeb of the universe, I crossed the street.20 The kids stared at me. One of the boys, a round-faced guy with freckles, sort of nodded.21 I lifted my hand — palm out and fingers together — and swept it in a semicircle from

left to right, signing, “Hi.”22 The kids stared.23 “I’m deaf,” I signed, touching my right ear and then my mouth with my index finger. I

pointed to my house. Then pointed to me. Then pointed to my house again. I wasn’tsigning now, just gesturing.

24 One of the girls, the shortest one, opened her eyes wide and said, “Oh.”25 Hearing people think lipreading is easy. They think all deaf people can do it, too. Well,

it isn’t, and we can’t. Most of the time, you’re basically lipguessing. But “oh” is an easyone.

26 “Yes,” I said out loud.27 “Yes” isn’t the hardest word to lipread, either. After a second, I nodded, and she

grinned.28 The other kids were hanging back, shuffling their feet, looking at each other, not at me.

The short girl said something. The only word I was sure of was “no.”29 Was she asking me how to sign “no?”30 She was. I signed it, and she signed it back to me.31 I didn’t know what to think.32 Nobody I’d ever met had reacted like this. No hearing person, I mean. Like sign was

something cool.33 Teach them, Mom had said.34 The girl pointed at herself, then at an old brown-shingled house at the end of the block.35 “You live in the brown house,” I signed, wearily. Of course she didn’t get any of that.

“House,” I signed and pointed. She nodded happily. Then she said something and gazedat me expectantly.

36 I didn’t get it.37 She mimed kicking, then positioned her hands like she was holding a ball. Then she

pointed at me.38 Soccer. She was asking if I wanted to play soccer.39 I’d played forward on the soccer team at my old school. And suddenly I wanted to show

these kids something.40 I nodded.41 I came home dirty, sweaty, and happier than I wanted to admit. I told myself it was

because I’d scored two goals in our three-on-three match.42 The first thing I did when I got inside was accuse Mom of setting the whole thing up.43 “How could I do that? We’ve been here three days, Ronnie. I don’t know anybody yet.”44 “You didn’t?” I was still suspicious.45 “I take a vow,” she signed, putting on her solemn face.46 Oh.47 I didn’t know what to think. I really didn’t.

18GO ON

Reading

48 A couple of days later, I was thrown for an even bigger loop. The short girl came to seeme. Actually, the whole bunch came, but the other kids waited outside.

49 She was clutching a book in her hands. Her face was red, and she was chewing her lip.She held up the book so I could see the title: Signing Is Fun.

50 You could’ve knocked me down with a feather duster.51 Mom was beaming.52 The short girl glanced around, saw the coffee table, and set the book on it. “My name

L-I-N-D-A,” she spelled slowly and jerkily. Her face got even redder, like she was scared I was going to laugh at her. “Get book. Learn.”

53 “Isn’t that great?” Mom put in. “Her name is Ronnie.” Mom signed and spoke.54 “R-O-N-N-I-E.” Linda spelled it out slowly.55 I nodded. I felt seriously weird.56 “Soccer. Play,” she signed.57 She didn’t know how to indicate questions yet, but that was O.K. “Yes,” I signed.

“Good. Thanks.” She knew both those signs and smiled.58 “You’ve been studying.”59 She nodded again. “Like. Interesting.”60 She really had been studying.61 Smiling, I signed, “Let’s go.” She didn’t get that, so I pointed to the front door. She

grabbed her book, and we went.62 The other kids were outside. Linda spelled their names, one by one, slowly. I could tell

she was nervous, but she did a good job. I nodded at each one and smiled.63 They all smiled back.64 None of the hearing kids in my old neighborhood had ever learned a single sign, and

I’d lived there my whole life. Mom had sworn she had nothing to do with this. It was allLinda’s doing.

65 So not all hearing peoplewere inconsiderate, I thought.Not all hearing people wereafraid of people who weren’texactly like them. Not allhearing people thought deafpeople were stupid — orthought it was too muchtrouble to try to communicatewith us.

66 Later, when I was talking toDad about it, he signed, “All ittakes is one person to make youfeel welcome.”

*This reader demonstrates accurate but limited understanding of the text by making limited connectionsto personal experience (The way I make friends is that I just go say hi and try to get a conversationstarted. All Linda did was be nice say hi and have a conversation. So you can say that we made friendsin a similar way but I didn’t use signs). The reader uses information in the text to support a simplisticinterpretation (An example of how Linda made friends was by playing soccer. Having a common hobbiemakes getting friends easy because you can relate and breaks the shyness).

When Linda met Ronnie, shemade the effort to learn how to sign, so that they could be friends). The reader makes personalconnections throughout the response (Linda and Ronnie’s friendship is similar to mine in where ourmothers come in. Ronnie’s mother actually pushed Ronnie out the door so that she could make friends.My mom didn’t push me, but she did tell me to sit at new lunch tables and things like that).

The reader makes a personalconnection to three deaf cousins, but there are gaps in the references to the text (Sometimes I used tofeel bad so when we went to the park or just outside, I used to speak for them and introduce them to otherkids that lived nearby.

Structure of the Grade 7 Mathematics ISAT

ISAT Mathematics testing in spring 2010 will consist of 30 norm-referenced items, as well as 45 criterion-referenced items, some of which will be used for developmental purposes. The 30 norm-referenceditems are an abbreviated form of the Stanford 10 Mathematics Problem Solving assessment, developedby Pearson, Inc. The 45 criterion-referenced items are all written by Illinois educators and pilot testedwith Illinois students.

Item Formats

All 75 items are aligned to the Illinois Mathematics Assessment Framework, which defines the elementsof the Illinois Learning Standards that are suitable for state testing.

Multiple-choice items require students to read, reflect, or compute and then to select the alternativethat best expresses what they believe the answer to be. This format is appropriate for quicklydetermining whether students have achieved certain knowledge and skills. Well-designed multiple-choice items can measure student knowledge and understanding, as well as students’ selection andapplication of problem-solving strategies. A carefully constructed multiple-choice item can assess any ofthe levels of mathematical complexity from simple procedures to sophisticated concepts. They can bedesigned to reach beyond the ability of students to “plug-in” alternatives or eliminate choices todetermine a correct answer. Such items are limited in the extent to which they can provide evidence ofthe depth of students’ thinking.

Short-response items pose similar questions as multiple-choice items and provide a reliable and validbasis for extrapolating about students’ approaches to problems. These items reduce the concern aboutguessing that accompanies multiple-choice items. The short-response items are scored with a rubric andcount as 5% of the scale score of the test.

Extended-response items require students to consider a situation that demands more than a numericalresponse. These items require students to model, as much as possible, real problem solving in a large-scale assessment context. When an extended-response item poses a problem to solve, the student mustdetermine what is required to “solve” the problem, choose a plan, carry out the plan, and interpret thesolution in terms of the original situation. Students are expected to clearly communicate their decision-making processes in the context of the task proposed by the item (e.g., through writing, pictures,diagrams, or well-ordered steps). The extended-response items are scored with a rubric and count as10% of the scale score of the test.

Scoring Extended- and Short-Response ItemsExtended- and short-response items are evaluated according to an established scoring scale, called arubric, developed from a combination of expectations and a sample of actual student responses. Suchrubrics must be particularized by expected work and further developed by examples of student work indeveloping a guide for scorers. Illinois educators play a substantial role in developing these guides usedfor the scoring of the short- and extended-response items. Committees of mathematics educators fromthroughout the state attend a validation meeting, during which they use the mathematics scoring rubricsto establish task-specific criteria that are used to score all short- and extended-response itemsconsistently and systematically.

Answer Document for Grade 7 Mathematics ISAT

Students in grade 7 respond to all test items in a separate answer document. Test administrators shouldmonitor students carefully during testing to make sure students are using the appropriate pages of theanswer document, especially for the short- and extended-response items.

Mathematics Sessions


Calculator Use for Grade 7 Mathematics ISAT

All students in grade 7 are allowed to use a calculator during all sessions of the mathematicsassessment. Students are allowed to use any calculator they normally use in their mathematics classes.Schools, teachers, and parents should be advised that when students attempt to use calculators withwhich they are unfamiliar, their performance may suffer. In a like manner, students who are not taught when and how to use a calculator as part of their regular mathematics instructional program arealso at risk.

Rulers for Grade 7 Mathematics ISAT

All students in grade 7 will be provided with a ruler to use during all sessions of the mathematicsassessment. This ruler will allow students to measure in both inches and centimeters.

Scratch Paper for Grade 7 Mathematics ISAT

Students must be provided with blank scratch paper to use during only session 1. Only session 1contains norm-referenced items, which were normed under such conditions. Students may not usescratch paper during session 2 or session 3, but they may use the test booklet itself as scratch paper.However, students must show their work, when required, for each short-response item in session 2 onthe appropriate page in the answer document. Students must show their work for each extended-response item in session 3 on the appropriate pages in the answer document.

Structure of the Grade 7 Science ISAT

ISAT Science testing in spring 2010 will consist of 82 items: 30 norm-referenced, as well as 52 criterion-referenced items. The 30 norm-referenced items are an abbreviated form of the Stanford 10Science assessment, developed by Pearson, Inc. The 52 criterion-referenced items were written byIllinois educators and pilot tested with Illinois students.

Item Formats

All 82 items will be in multiple-choice format. All items are aligned to the Illinois Science AssessmentFramework, which defines the elements of the Illinois Learning Standards that are suitable for statetesting.

Science Sessions


Cumulative Knowledge

ISAT tests students on the knowledge and skills that they should have acquired by grade 4 and grade 7.Proper curriculum alignment can establish which assessment objectives are covered at each grade levelso that by the spring of any given year, all objectives have been presented. It is not the soleresponsibility of a 4th grade teacher or a 7th grade teacher to teach all of the assessment objectivescontained within the framework.

The grade 4 ISAT will assess the grade 4 assessment objectives. The grade 7 ISAT will assess the grade 7 assessment objectives but may also include the assessment objectives from grade 4. The sampleitems within this booklet provide the reader with an opportunity to see the ISAT format and how theitems align to the assessment framework.

Understand the principle of superposition: in a layered sedimentary sequence, the oldest rocks are usually at the bottom.

26 D

12.7.78 Understand that some changes in the solid earth can be described as the rock cycle: rocks at the earth’s surface weather, forming sediments that are buried, then compacted, heated, and often recrystalized into new rock. Eventually, those new rocks may be brought to the surface by the forces that drive plate motions, and thus the rock cycle continues. Identify the three basic kinds of rock. Igneous rock is the result of cooled magma; granite, pumice, and scoria are examples. Sedimentary rock is the result of fine particles from eroded rocks being re-deposited by water or wind; sandstone and limestone are examples. Metamorphic rock is the result of rocks being changed by high temperatures and/or pressures; marble is an example.
