Higher Order Multiple Choice and Technology Enhanced Items http://www.doe.virginia.gov/testing/sol/practice_items/english/reading/guides/gr_3_reading.pdfhttp://www.doe.virginia.gov/testing/sol/practice_items/english/reading/guides/gr_4_reading.pdfhttp://www.doe.virginia.gov/testing/sol/practice_items/english/reading/guides/gr_5_reading.pdf Drag and Drop Hot Spot Drag 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 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.

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