How to create Evidence Based Selected Response (EBSR) Items for learning activities:
Click on My Student Actions from the left menu.
Click on the green Add Student Action button in the top right of the Student Actions panel.
Click Next.
4. Here you will see a new panel. At the top will be the Details section. You can add the Grade, Subject, a Description (optional), set the Status of the item (automatically sets it to inactive, be sure to make it active if you want to use it on an assignment), and select the Item Type which in this case would be Evidence Based Selected Response.
5. Below the Details section, you will see the Tagging section followed by the Attachments section. In the Tagging section, you can add this new item to an Action Bank, tag the Standards, add Custom Tags, and add the DOK Level. In the Attachments section, you can add attachments to the item such as documents, images, websites, etc. which would then show up with this item on an assignment for students (optional).
Scrolling down, we will now see the Content section. Here is where we are going to create our EBSR item.
