Reading Assessment

I've been 'experimented' with Google Doc. This is a reading assessment that I've created.






Based on the Bloom Taxonomy, the operational level for Question 1 is ‘knowledge’. The question requires the students to list down the name of places where primary area(s) of landslide incident in the United States occur. In order to do so the students must first remember or recall of what they had read before so that they are able to locate the information required even they are unable to remember about clearly. The second operational level for question 1 is ‘comprehension’. The students must have to understand the requirement of the question to enable them to answer the question correctly. They must be able to interpret the question accurately.

The operational level for question 2 is ‘comprehension’. It requires the students understanding on the sentence; to determine whether the given statement is true or not. When the students are able to understand the given statement then the students is able to start to check whether the given statement is true or not.

The operational level for question 3 is ‘comprehension’. As in question 2 the students must possess the understanding on the sentence or question requirement. After the students are able to identify the question’s objective, which is to choose the correct answer by identifying the category of landslide causes of the given causes of landslide.

There are two operational levels for question 4. The first one is ‘knowledge’. The students need to have the schemata of what is the possible reason(s) the causes of landslide at mountainous areas. If the students have the background knowledge it would be an easy task for the students to accomplish as they do not have to refer to the text.

There are two operational levels for question 5. The first one is ‘knowledge’. It is compulsory for the students to be able to have a wide vocabulary to be able to answer the question. The students must be able to come out with a specific term or word which have the same meaning as ‘a person killed or injured in a war or accident’. The second operational level for the question is ‘analysis’. The students must carefully read the article to find the exact term or word that can represent ‘a person killed or injured in a war or accident’.

There are also two operational levels for question 6. The first one is ‘analysis’. The students are required to separate the details between landslides cause by landslides and volcanic activity, landslides and seismic activity, and landslides and water and put them in an organizational way so that later on they can compare them easily in specific criteria, for example. The second operational level for the question is ‘evaluation’. The students are required to make judgement on the details that they have gotten and write it down.
