This blog post is for my students to provide me feedback about our language arts final project. Feel free to browse their responses - I found them both enlightening and entertaining.
Three questions:
1. Which better shows your reading, writing and thinking skills: a multiple choice exam or Show Your Thinking Project?
2. Which do you enjoy doing more: a multiple choice exam or Show Your Thinking Project?
3. Which is easier: a multiple choice exam or Show Your Thinking Project? Please explain.
Showing our thinking is alot harder.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy showing my thinking, it's alot harder then a multiple choice.
Showing my thinking since i'm not just colouring in a dot.
I think the the how your thinking project because a multiply choice test only sjhows that you can fill in a box nopt what ur reeally thinking... The priject because its less stress and its more fun to do
ReplyDeleteBrianna Dolliver
Well it is very fun the way you teach and the reading thing is cool that you dont make us do text book reading.Show Your
ReplyDeleteshow your thinking project because it's better i think. It lets your mind tell people what you think so you don't have to answer questions that you don't think. If that make sence......
ReplyDeleteKimberley Cole
I think that the Show your thinking priject was better because you can express your thinnking better than a multipe choice exam......I liked the show your thinking better...the show your thinking project was easier.
ReplyDeleteShowing your thinking for all three questions.
ReplyDelete1.show your thinking project

3.show your thinking project because its funner and better for your learning.
I thought that this way of doing our final exam was very fun, i liked this way better than sitting in one spot and doing scan tron tests. i thought that this was a better way of showing what you learned this year.
ReplyDeleteI think it was pretty cool. I also think that the show your thinking project is a whole lot better. I also enjoy it alot. But, I do think that the multiple choice exam would be easier but I would learn less, cause I would probally guess.
ReplyDeleteShow our own thinking , is more diffcult. but i enjoy it more.. and i think it shows our learning way better. :)
ReplyDelete1= I like show your thinking project, I thought it was more fun and way less stress
ReplyDelete2= show your thinking

3.Multiple Choice but with it being easier you dont actualy challenge me to learn and show you what i know multiple choice is what i think i know
Showing our thinking is alot harder.]\
ReplyDeleteI enjoy our showing our thinking project alot more.
The multiple choice exam because you can just guess and not show what you know.
I think this was a very good idea.
ReplyDeleteShow our work is better
I learn way more that multiply choice
1.show your thinking
ReplyDelete2.showing your thinking
3.showing your thinking
because, multiple choose doesnt show how i think or what i learned,
i think that showing our thinkng was defenetly the way to go less stressful and more productive because we chose a topic that intrested us.
ReplyDeletei defenetly enjoy showing my thinking way better than multiple choice
multiple couch takes more efeort to focuas on and showing your thinking was esyer because all you do is write down your thoughts..
Mr.bower i love you way of teaching and imma miss you
ITS WAYYY BETTER THEN DOING EXAMS.!!! less pressure and showing your thinking progject. i kinda like multiple choice cus all you have to do is guess.showing your thinking project.
ReplyDeleteI like this one alot betetr because we can show what we're thinking and we won't be judged. and it's also less stressful
ReplyDelete1. showing your thinking.
ReplyDelete2.showing my thinking on a project.
3. umm i think showing your thinking is easier because while you read you think and when you show that thinking down it helps with your learning!
i think that this was was way better for us as well and it is better for you because you can tell how we are doing on out reading skills.
ReplyDeleteabsolotly this its less stressfull and trick questions on the malyipal choice ones like what the helk are thos sapost to be.

1. Sow your thinking
ReplyDelete2. this year I enjoyed show your thining
3. Show your thinking. because if you think sopmething else then the 4 question's they give you for multipule chocie it doesn't really work.
i think the show your thinking is better because multiple choice is limited and wont shwo the teacher what you really think. i enjoy the show your thinking one because its more freedom. i think the show your thinking is more challenging than the multiple choice because you got to think more.
ReplyDelete1 show your thinkign prject is better because we can do waht ever we want it is way more fun and i think waht we showed on our projects is way more than the multiple choice exam.
ReplyDelete2 show you thniking prject is way more fun so i enjoyed it more.
3 shoqw your thinking becasue we can choose what we wnat to do. and when it is fun i think is easy.
1. showing your thinking project is much better.
ReplyDelete2. i much rather do a show your thinking project
3. multipul choice is easier cuz u just have to shade stuff in or circle stuff it's basically pointless..
it is easier to show what you learned on the final la project.it is easier and fun.
ReplyDelete1. Thinking project
ReplyDelete2. Thinking project

1. I like the show your thinking project because there was no right or worng anwser.
ReplyDelete2. I enjoy the show your thinking project because your not filling in the litte box thing 3. I can show what i undeerstand.
the thinking project on was easier because you got to choese what you wrote about and you could understand it more
1. Show your thinking
ReplyDelete2. Show your thinking
3. Show your thinking because you don't have to worry about studying super hard and you don't need to freak out over every unit and little topic.
1.sowing thinking beacuse u not as streest out and not as boring and dumb beacuse it is a test
ReplyDeletei thing this project showes what you know better i enjoy this more than a test and i think a multiple choice test is way easier because yoy can guess but buy doing this you cant
ReplyDeleteI would rather use show your thinking and do "Your thing" on paper instead of everybody doing the same thing. this is how the world should be! You're the best BOWER!
ReplyDeletei think this shows your learning way better than writing letter on a page, its shows what your thinking. i enjoy showing my learning more because you dont just have an answer you get to show what you think. And i thought this one was more work but it was worth it.
ReplyDelete1 I think showing your thinking is uch easer.
ReplyDelete2 Showing your thinking because u can pick what u wan to read and show were thinking.
3 it was much easer and funner because it not just filling in a stipid budle.
1 The project
ReplyDelete2 The project
3 I would say the project because all you do is read and then show your thinking.
I think in a way Reading cannot be done without writing because somebody ahs to write a book so that somebody can read it right? If you show your thinking you can indeed hav more influenc on ones mind than what a average person can do with a multipul chocie exam.
ReplyDelete1 Show Your Thinking Project
ReplyDelete2 Show Your Thinking Project
3 the show your thinking because you get to speak your mind instead of colouring dots
1.i think showing your think project
ReplyDelete2.showing your thinking project
3.the exam is easier because you look and write in down and for the project you have to really show what it is telling you
Response to #1: Of course a "Show your thinking" project is going to show your thinking better. You are personally putting together slides or leaving comments on things. But with a simple multiple choice test, you're filling in a letter. Most kids probably guess. I could name a few.
ReplyDeleteResponse to #2: I enjoy the "Show your thiking project" more because you can relate things you're interesting in to what you're learning about. Like boyancy or something.
Response to #3: I'd have to say that a multiple choice is easier than the project. Because with a multiple choice, you're simply filling in a letter. With the project, you have to show thinking, write about things, relate things to other things, and why it does this, and etc. BUT the project is more fun so it doesn't SEEM like more work.
i think a multiple choice exam would be alot easier than asking questions on paragraphs but at the same time asking questions would show your learning better so i would have to say multiple choice exam but if i had more time to work on a project where i had to ask quetions i would rather do that.
ReplyDelete1)This was a no-brainer. You don't even write in a multiple choice exam. Show your thinking project. FTW.
ReplyDelete2)I greatly enjoyed the show your thinking project it felt like your average Bower class, no stress with all the resources you could ever need a few strokes of the keyboard away.
3)A Multiple choice exam is easier. But the challenge was refreshing and more important than that, not completely mindless like so many multiple choice tests. And it is because of this that I feel the need to thank you for letting us show our thinking, rather than shade in boxes.
and i would also enjoy a show your learning kind of exam more than a multiple choice exam.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone for sharing your thoughts. I appreciate the feedback. See you Friday for our Science Final Project!
