Assessment

ASSESSMENT (3rd Post)
Procedure:
     Informal Assessments will be done through teacher observations during the lesson. The teacher will walk around the classroom to check for understanding while the students are writing down their observations as well as when they are creating their own IMovie renditions of the Day In The Life Of A Soldier.
     Formal Assessments will be done through the use of the student's IMovies. Students IMovies will be graded on a rubric that has been created by the teacher.
The rubric is as follows: (5 points for each section included)
     Name
     Sequencing (beginning, middle and end of the day)
     Items used that are appropriate for that time frame
     Photos or illustrations
     Descriptions for each moment of the day

Reflect on:
Planning Assessment (InTask Standard # 6):
     The assessments that are being used align with the standards of this lesson because it shows that the students have given thought to the different types of items that were used in the civil war by soldiers. It also proves to the teacher that the students have learned  to sequence events and take information from primary sources to create something of their own. All of the standards help the students to achieve the objective by demonstrating their knowledge. The assessment allows children to demonstrate their understanding of how events are sequenced throughout the day and how to use reading as a way to gain information that can be transferred to another assignment. Students are engaged in higher order thinking skills through the use of synthesizing the information and understanding. Each student's individual needs were met through the various modes of instruction and means of expression. The assessment demonstrates this by allowing the rubric to be adjusted to fit the needs of the child. Using this rubric the teacher can allow for more or less detail of the sequencing and descriptions. The students could be given the opportunity of discussing the photos/illustrations rather than through writing.
