Have you heard of the rainbow project?

Students are given 5 blank New Yorker cartoons and must craft captions for each one. They must also write a narrate story, using as their guide only a title supplied by the test givers. (sample title:

Octopus’s Sneakers)

The Rainbow Project has been twice as successful as the SAT in predicting how well a students perform in college. What’s more, the persistent gap in performance between white students and

racial minorities evident on the SAT narrows considerably on this test.

This test is still in the experimental stages and is being funded by the COLLEGE BOARD.
