Wisconsin Forward Exam
By Mrs. Lisa Witt
9
Beginning in spring 2016, Wisconsin students will
take the Forward Exam. The new custom assessment
will be administered in English language arts and
mathematics in grades 3 through 8, in science in
grades in grades 4 and 8, and in social studies in 4,8,
and 10. High school students in grades 9 through 11
will continue to take the ACT suite of exams.

The recently passed biennial budget (2015 Wisconsin
Act 55), required the Department of Public Instruction
(DPI) to procure a new state assessment for the 201516 school year. The procurement process is run by the
Department of Administration (DOA) on behalf of
DPI.

The second grade students worked on a Pourquoi Tale Unit
in Reading Class. The word pourquoi is French for “why.”
Long ago, people observed the world around them and created pourquoi tales to answer questions they had about how
things came to be the way they are. The students wrote a
pourquoi tale that explains why an animal is the way it is
today. We focused on the writing process. The students
brainstormed ideas, completed a graphic organizer with
their ideas, a rough draft, revisions, edited with a peer, edited with the teacher, and finally published. We then shared
our Pourquoi Tales with our classmates.
