Web site provides teachers with more religion test questions, answers

Published: 2006-02-16

MOBILE, Ala. (CNS) -- Last year Sacred Heart Brother Malcolm Melcher, a retired high school religion teacher, began making his old tests and answers available for free to religion teachers on his Web site to help them with their classes, and now he has added more material. Initially, the site included more than 600 questions in a multiple-choice and free-response format. Now it offers more than 900 questions and answers in a quiz format on the site: www.boshf.org/biblebank. Brother Melcher, who taught religion for more that 30 years, said the collection was an "Internet project" he wanted to make available for religion teachers "who do not have the luxury of time and energy" to acquire a bank of questions of this magnitude. All questions have been student-tested and when necessary have been rewritten to improve their clarity, he said. The material can be used for exams, quizzes and extra drill work, he added.
