| | Overview
This task tests the ability to narrate orally an informal story, containing a beginning, middle, and end. It comprises a series of pictures that depict a story. The student is allotted two minutes to prepare the narration and two minutes to tell the story. The response receives a single holistic score based on the criteria outlined in the task directions.
Results
In reviewing the student responses for this task, the Development Committee found that the English directions were worded clearly, as students completed the exercise as expected. The responses to the task represented a wide range of performance. Committee members found that some responses were poorly paced, resulting in incomplete or superficial narrations. Using this information, the committee made recommendations that College Board consultants conducting professional development events discuss ways for teachers to help students develop presentational communication, narration, and other strategies to respond successfully to this task.
