U2 Assessment Prompt

I think some students composed bad paragraphs on our last assessment because the prompt misled them a bit. What if we revise it (for the future) to "What is George's principal motivation for maintaining his friendship with Lennie?" Or it could say "main motivation" or "biggest motivation." Some students attempted two "chunks" about two motivations instead of two CDs with commentary. Focusing the prompt on ONE main motivation, with two CDs to support it, would help focus the response.

    Sounds good to me. We want to make sure we can test that they are able to choose appropriate CDs and explain them clearly with CM. This seems it will help students to do that.
