Assessment

The assessment tools we will use are the following:

Lesson #1: Anecdotal record will be one assessment tool because the teacher wants to know what places they are researching. Also, a checklist will be used to see whether or not the students completed the chart or not.

Lesson #2: Anecdotal record will be one assessment tool because the teacher is reading outloud and will make notes during class discussion. Next, the teacher will be using a Yes/No checklist for whether or not students complete an exit pass. The exit pass will be handing in their prediction. This will count towards the learning skill "initiative"

Lesson #3: Anecdotal record will be used while the teacher observes the students make their poems, and afterwards when the students are discussing their poems with their peers. A rubric will be used for the written portion of the poem to ensure that students complete the poem appropriately.

Lesson #4: Anecdotal record will be used during the creation of the Venn Diagrams because the teacher will be walking around the classroom. Then, the teacher will use a checklist during shared reading to assess how well they read in a group

Lesson #5: Anecdotal record will be used while students work on their reflection sheet. The teacher will note whether or not students are able to connect information from lesson #1 onto their sheet, and drawing and write about the places they want to go to. There will also be a rubric that marks the writing and marks the oral presentations. Were students able to write appropriately and orally present their reflection with vocal expression?

In order to take differentiated instruction into account for our students, students are able to present their work in a variety of different ways in all 5 lessons. Students are able to show some work, visually and some orally, and are able to use technological tools for lesson #1 as well. Also, students engage in shared reading and reading aloud's which allows students with learning disabilities and "weaker readers" to still feel a sense of inclusion with the book "Oh The Places You'll Go"
