Read the first 7 Performance Tasks flashcards as text

  1. A student writes this thesis for a Performance Task essay: 'This essay will talk about whether zoos are good or bad.' Why is this thesis WEAK?

    Answer: It does not state a clear position or argument

    A strong thesis must make a specific, arguable claim, not merely announce the topic of the essay.

  2. An ILEARN Math Performance Task asks: 'A store sells notebooks for $3.25 each. A student buys 8 notebooks and pays with a $30 bill. How much change does the student receive?' What is the correct change?

    Answer: $4.00

    8 × $3.25 = $26.00; $30.00 − $26.00 = $4.00 change.

  3. Which of the following is an example of a PRIMARY source a student might use in an ILEARN Social Studies Performance Task?

    Answer: A letter written by a soldier during World War II

    A primary source is an original document or artifact from the time period being studied, such as a firsthand letter.

  4. A Performance Task prompt says: 'Write a narrative about a time you overcame a challenge.' Which element is MOST important to include for a high score?

    Answer: A clear sequence of events with descriptive details and a resolution

    Effective narratives include structured plot development with vivid details and a clear resolution.

  5. In a Performance Task, a student must determine the most cost-effective option. Option A costs $45 for 9 units. Option B costs $56 for 8 units. Which option has the lower unit cost?

    Answer: Option A at $5.00 per unit

    Option A: $45 ÷ 9 = $5.00 per unit; Option B: $56 ÷ 8 = $7.00 per unit — Option A is cheaper.

  6. A student is revising a Performance Task response and notices their evidence does not clearly connect to their claim. What revision strategy BEST addresses this?

    Answer: Add an analysis sentence explaining how the evidence proves the claim

    An analysis or warrant sentence explicitly links evidence to the claim, strengthening the argument.

  7. ILEARN Performance Tasks are designed to measure which type of skill MOST specifically?

    Answer: Capacity to apply, analyze, and communicate knowledge in authentic contexts

    Performance Tasks specifically target higher-order thinking — application, analysis, and communication — in real-world contexts.
