Summative Assessment Blueprint: The Three Rs Poster

Type of Assessment: Project The students will create a poster to show what they have learned about the Three Rs: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. The poster must include a statement about how practicing the Three Rs helps the environment, definitions of each of the Three Rs, written and visual examples of how people can practice the Three Rs, and a list of the four recyclable materials. Students will be graded on their posters based on a rubric. The rubric, template, and directions for this project can be found in the lesson plan document. Standards Science (GLCEs): E.ES.03.43 E.ES.03.44 E.ES.03.52 Social Studies (GLCEs): 3-P4.2.2 Language Arts (CCSS): Writing Standards K-5; Text Types & Purposes, St. 2 Objectives 1. TLW explain how practicing the Three Rs benefits the environment. (Comprehension) 2. TLW define the terms reduce, reuse, and recycle. (Knowledge) 3. TLW give examples of ways that humans can reduce, reuse, and recycle, through both writing and visuals. (Application) 4. TLW list the four recyclable materials (glass, paper/cardboard, plastic, and metal). (Knowledge) Learning Targets 1. I will explain how practicing the Three Rs helps the environment. 2. I will explain what the words reduce, reuse, and recycle mean. 3. I will give examples of ways that people can reduce, reuse, and recycle, and I will include pictures to go along with my examples. 4. I will name the four different materials that can be recycled. How does the assessment measure objectives?
1. At the top of the poster, students must include a one-sentence statement about how practicing the Three Rs helps the environment (it limits the amount of waste that gets dumped into the environment). They will be evaluated on their ability to write the statement clearly and in their own words and to show the connection between the Three Rs and waste. 2. In the three sections of the poster (Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle), students must include one-sentence definitions of each of the Three Rs. They will be evaluated on their ability to write the definitions clearly, accurately, and in their own words. 3. In the three sections of the poster (Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle), students must include one-sentence examples of specific ways that people can practice each of the Three Rs; they must also include a picture to illustrate each example. They will be evaluated on the accuracy of the examples, their ability to mention specific materials/items and specific methods of practicing the Three Rs in the examples, and their ability to effectively represent the examples with their pictures. 4. In the Recycle section of the poster, students must include a list of the four recyclable materials (glass, paper/cardboard, plastic, and metal). They will be evaluated on the accuracy and completeness of the list.
