Drag and DropDrag and drop items contain draggers and drop zones• Draggers are answer options that are 

moved to drop zones in response to the question.

• Drop zones are areas of an item where draggers will remain once moved there.

A student response by moving one or more draggers from one place on the screen into a drop zone(s) elsewhere on the screen.

The student will click on the dragger and keep the button down while moving the dagger to the desired location where it will remain.

Students can still move the dragger once it has been dropped into the drop zone.

Hot SpotHot spot items contain hot spot zones which represent student answer options.• Hot spot zones are answer options which may 

be objects, graphic elements, locations on a number line or coordinate plane, or text labels which are selected in response to a question.

• Unlike a traditional multiple‐choice item where only one answer option is correct, hot spot items my require the student to select one or more hot spot zones (answer options) in order to correctly answer the item.

The student selects a hot spot by clicking on it.  On a coordinate plane or number line item, a point will appear when the hot spot is selected.  When the student makes a selection in other hot spot items, there will be an indication on the screen confirming the option has been selected.  For example, after the student clicks on an option, the hot spot zone selected will be highlighted or outlined in a different color, clearly indicating that answer option has been chosen.

Technology Enhanced• Click on the two correct answers in the gray shaded area.

• Light blue box outlines the answer as the  student hovers over it.

• After the student selects the answer by clicking on it, the outline color changes to  orange.

• To remove the selection, students click on the orange box.

Which word means the same as Suddenly in paragraph 1?A  amazinglyB  quicklyC  curiouslyD  excitedly

Which two words from the story have the same meaning?A  problems, troublesB  late, fastC  judges, friendsD  gathered, made

Made to HuntA cheetah’s coat is also very useful.  The coat is tan with black spots.  This coloring allows a cheetah to blend in with the tall, brown grass in Africa.  Other animals do not see it hiding, so a cheetah can sneak up on rabbits, birds, and other animals. 

Previous MCThe cheetah’s coat is MOST useful because it –A keeps the cheetah cool after  a 

long runB lets the cheetah move with 

great speedC helps the cheetah hide in the 

grassD protects the cheetah from the 

sun

Signal words are important to pay attention to and to understand how they link ideas—how the ideas are related to each other.

The chart shows some information for the article.  Which of these belongs in the empty box?A  The number of cheetahs in Africa becomes smaller.

B  Zookeepers start catching cheetahs.C  Ranchers ask wildlife experts for help to find new land.

D  People in Africa hunt lions and hyenas.

Grade 5Which sentence contains an underlined word with a root word that means to see?

The standards and their application in SOL testing use “root word” in two different ways.  In this example, “root word” is used as “base word,” meaning words that exist on their own as a recognizable word in the English language. For example, "inspect" is the base word of inspection, inspected, inspecting and inspector.   So far this is the only way I’ve seen “root” used in Grade 3.

By Grade 5, “root word” takes on a different meaning.Root words are portions of a base word that do not stand alone and have no meaning by themselves in the English language and are usually derived from Greek or Latin. Continuing the previous example, the root word of "inspect" is the Latin word "spec" meaning see.
