Does Testing Decide Success?

Test Debate Writing Prompt

Worksheet Description

Imagine you’re a young thinker exploring the world of tests and success!

Write a story about a student who has to take a special test that many students take together. This test is called a “standardized test.”

Do you think this test is the only way to know if someone is smart or successful? In your story, share how the student feels before and after taking the test.

Do they think the test shows everything they know? Think about other ways people can show their skills and talents, like being kind, creative, or a good friend.

Write an adventure that tells us if standardized tests really decide success, or if there are many other wonderful things that matter too!
