RL.3.4 Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, distinguishing literal from nonliteral language.
· You will have your students for approximately 90 minutes a day per subject area that you teach. How will you fill that time? You will create and administer multiple formative assessments each day. These assessments will give you the feedback you need to know if your students are making progress towards mastering your standard. Some of these assessments will be in written format while others may not. Some will be graded while others will not. Each assessment is meaningful and gives you, the teacher, imperative information that you will use to modify or plan upcoming lessons. Create a minimum of one (1) ungraded and two (2) graded assessments for your chosen standard.
You may NOT select a KWL chart, exit ticket or bell-ringer as a graded assignment. Each
assessment must be original
content that you created. Your submission must contain:
· a student copy that is ready for the student to complete and
· a teacher copy that includes the assignment, a key, grading information and
· a plan as to how you will use the results to direct future instruction.
Writing Assignment
This week you are creating 3 formative assessments. Formative assessments are the daily things that a teacher has his/her students do to show they are progressing in their mastery of the standard being taught. See the link at the end of this announcement if you need formative assessment examples.
If you think about assessments/activities that take place in the classroom on a daily basis, you may think of things like:
· bellwork/bellringers
· observations
· entrance tickets
· quizzes
· journals
· worksheets (limit use)
· review games
· partner work
· group work
· exit tickets
· homework
· classwork
Suggestion for this assignment can be matching the meaning of nonliteral language which can be classwork. Another suggestion could be bellringer, and a quick quiz using a passage with no more than 10 questions.
A plan for the results. All assessments given are given with a plan for the results. What will your plan be for each assessment? What will you do if the students do not meet your expectation? What will you do if they exceed your expectations? Be specific. Tell exactly what you plan to do.
