Comments: Students are presented with questions in a traditional testing style. Based on their response, the student receives feedback. Students have the ability to listen to feedback at lower levels, but at the higher levels the students would need to read through the explanation of what they should do. This is redundant of other resources we already have available. Similar question can be found in School City, however, School City would allow questions to be asked in multiple different ways. The Wonders platform also has questions that can be asked in a number of different formats. This resource is tightly aligned to the Common Core. Utah ELA standards are changing by the end of 2022 and at that point, this resource would not align.

Approved*: No
