DOK and Writing: Say Goodbye to Low-Rigor Multiple Choice
Move Beyond Low-Rigor Formative Data
It's time to face the reality: multiple-choice tasks are limiting our students’ potential. These low-rigor, gamified resources that dominate literacy classrooms do little to challenge students or foster critical thinking. Groovelit Go is designed to change that. By providing in-depth formative writing data, it pushes students into deeper cognitive engagement, targeting higher Depth of Knowledge (DOK) Levels 3 and 4. No more shallow, quick-answer assessments—Groovelit helps educators identify growth areas, elevate student writing, and track progress in real-time with actionable insights. This is how we go beyond basic recall to real learning.
Break the Cycle of Bland Vocabulary
If you’re seeing repetitive, uninspired vocabulary in student work, ask yourself why. The endless cycle of multiple-choice tasks limits students’ ability to explore language and keeps classrooms stuck in DOK 1 and 2. Groovelit Go shatters that cycle by celebrating creative and unique word choices, pushing students to experiment with a richer, more sophisticated vocabulary. Instead of settling for simple word recall, our platform encourages students to embrace language that reflects deeper thinking, helping them move toward a higher level of literacy mastery.
Highlight Complex Thinking, Not Simple Answers
Multiple-choice activities might provide quick data, but they don’t promote meaningful student voice and expression. Groovelit Go identifies and elevates sentences that truly demonstrate complex thought—those that don’t just meet the prompt but go beyond it. These are the moments where students show they can apply their knowledge, synthesize information, and create something original, all hallmarks of DOK Levels 3 and 4. It’s time to leave behind tasks that only scratch the surface and instead challenge students to think critically and deeply.
Efficient Data for Real Results
If you’re tired of grading papers manually or dealing with superficial data from multiple-choice tools, Groovelit Go has your solution. Our platform not only highlights higher-level thinking in student writing, but also makes it easy to export formative data directly into your grade book with just a click.
