Camping: Student Responses

The performances shown here are by students hired to portray the range of abilities seen in the actual theatre assessment results. While the performances shown do not demonstrate all possible scores, the performances taken together give a sense of the different levels of theatre knowledge and skills demonstrated by the grade 8 students who took the assessment. Each performance is accompanied by a pair of graphics for each scoring guide: a Guide table and a bar graph. The Guide table features scores assigned to the students in the video clips. The bar graph accompanying each Guide table shows what percentages of students who actually took the theatre assessment were assigned different scores.

Explore a variety of exercises and student responses from the music, theatre, and visual arts assessments in the 1997 NAEP Arts Report Card.
