Performance-based Task Formats and Examples
Product  Performance  Extended Constructed Response

Performance

Performances may take a wide range of forms including:

• Oral presentations
• Readings
• Dramatic presentations (e.g., enactment of skits, scenes, improvisation)
• Movement sequences
• Dances
• Demonstration
• Recital (vocal or instrumental)

In general, a performance must lend itself to being administered, recorded (through audio- or videotape) and transmitted for purposes of more centralized, off-site scoring.   However, in some instances, trained raters may also be on-site to make evaluative judgments.
