Reflecting Assessment Lesson #2

Assessment of Learning 

     

The above artifacts are representing the student's progress over the course of the hour long lesson. The pieces of lined paper are what the students observed from the photo presentation that was projected onto the smartboard at the beginning of the lesson. The students were asked to write down the types of things that they observed while looking at each photo. These photos consisted of two from the civil war era and the modern day war era. The videos are the student's IMovie's about their life as a civil war soldier. Each student was instructed to create a movie that explains the daily life that they would live as a soldier from that time period. This movie had to contain morning, afternoon and evening events that they researched throughout the reading of letters. Both of my students achieved the standards and objectives extremely well. However, one of my student's was able to complete the entire project using all three parts while the other one completed only the morning and the afternoon pieces. I think that outside of the using of IMovie, that I succeeded in implementing this lesson really well. Overall, my students thought that the lesson went really well. The only thing they wish had been different is the explaining of the IMovie and how it works. I think that if we had had more time within this lesson that touching on the basics of how to work IMovie would have been beneficial to the learning and success of my students.
