This demonstration booklet illustrates the kind of exercises or test questions and tasks used in the assessment of student achievement in reading and writing by the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) for 2002. Each student will be asked to complete the background section and the cognitive sections for one subject, and the assessment will require 90 minutes of a student's time. The booklet for Grade 12 is divided into four sections: Part One contains the general background questionnaire that students will be asked to answer; Parts Two and Three contain descriptions of each assessment, followed by the booklet directions and the background questionnaire that accompanies each subject; and Part Four (located on the back cover) presents information about the program's purpose and what procedures to follow to obtain access to NAEP questions for further review. Parts Two and Three of the booklet also contain questions about how specific subject matter is taught and the materials and resources the students use. (PM)
