Report on Topic With Descriptive Details Practice Test

Read the scenario about students' presentations. In social studies, students report on a place they researched. Sofia speaks clearly at an understandable pace about the Grand Canyon, sharing appropriate facts: it is in Arizona, and the Colorado River helped carve it over a long time. She adds relevant, descriptive details: “The canyon walls look like layers of red and orange cake.” Omar speaks so quietly that classmates lean forward and still cannot understand his words. Emma includes off-topic details about her new shoes instead of the place. Carlos says, “It’s big and cool,” but gives no facts about where it is. Which student needs to work on speaking clearly?

Read the scenario about students' presentations. Students in Ms. Rivera’s class recount a field trip to the science museum. Maya speaks clearly at an understandable pace and tells appropriate facts, like how a tornado is a spinning column of air that forms from strong thunderstorms. She adds relevant, descriptive details: “The wind tunnel roared, and my hair blew straight back.” Amir also speaks clearly and pauses between ideas. Diego talks too softly and too fast, saying only, “It was cool and loud,” with missing facts about what he learned. Keisha includes lots of details about her lunch and the bus seats, but not the museum exhibits. Which student’s recount is missing appropriate facts?
