To assist educators in writing their own performance assessment task a ClarisWorks 4.0 and a Microsoft Word word processed template is available for download.

At this section readers will be prompt to switch to the word processed file and complete the particular step before moving to the next step.

Please select one of the following:

Once the file is downloaded, go to your Desktop and locate the file named "PAT." If you have downloaded the Microsoft Word template double-click on the PAT file.
