Accelerated Reader

[Phyllis Bergant <PBergant@AOL.COM>]

I have made up tests for many of the books I have in my library that were not
available through Advantage Learning Systems.  One student (8th grader) asked
me to make up a test for Forrest Gump. I turned it around and asked her to
make up the test. I gave her a few guidelines ( the ones in the user's
manual) such as a student must read the book not just watch the movie.  She
did a very good job, I only had to condense one question that was too long.
 When I told one of the teachers what had happened, she said she would assign
that project to her students next year.  I will, of course, make sure the
tests make sense and include the correct answers.  Wnyone have any comments.
Is this a good idea or bad?
