ASSESSMENT (3rd Post)

Procedure: Read Assessing Student Learning (Include a description of how you will determine the students' success in meeting the standards and objectives of the lesson (You must include what artifacts and activities will be assessed as well as a description of the assessment process))

I will be making sure my students meets the standards and objectives of my lesson by formally and informally assessments. My formal assessment will include assessing their copy of the Emancipation Proclamation and the words they chose to define and look up independently. Another form of formal assessment will be from their speech they write on their choosing of freedom they want. I will assess this from my rubric I pass out about what I am looking for in their speech. Once the students go onto the next provided website

My informal assessment will be that of assessing what my students write on the board about why the Emancipation Proclamation is important to our history now and also our history as a country.

Instruments: (Include any tools that you will be using to assess your students (e.g. rubric, checklist, worksheet, test)

Reflect on:

Planning Assessment (InTask Standard # 6):

• How does the assessment align with the standards and objectives of this lesson?
  The assessment aligns with the standards and objectives for this lesson by grading the students on their words they defined, their ideas on the E.P, and on their speech they wrote and how clearly they defined their topic and reasons. 
• How does the assessment demonstrate that the students have been successful in learning the content?
  The assessment demonstrates that the students have been successful in learning the content by having the students think creatively about freedom and what it means to them in their own lives. 
• How does the assessment demonstrate student engagement in higher order thinking?
  The assessment demonstrates student engagement in higher order thinking by having them create their own speech about something they can relate to. It also allows them to be creative and individual on the topic of freedom and choice. 
• How does the assessment demonstrate that individual student needs were met?
  The assessment demonstrates that individual student needs were met by letting the students have their own identity in the topic and their own choice. Their needs will be met by allowing them to review the rubric and what I will be looking for during their speech.
