 Summative Assessment

“Into the World” Project:

For this Unit, you will be creating an “Into the World” Project. This project will represent
all that you have learned throughout the unit regarding code-switching, how language is a part of
your identity, and how to demonstrate respect towards your peers and their work. This project
will be comprised of three parts (see below for details). For Part I, you will be creating a “text”
that will demonstrate your ability to code-switch. Part II, will be an artist statement and/or
reflection of how you feel language is a part of your own identity, and finally, for Part III, you
will be giving and receiving feedback on your peer’s projects.
These projects will be presented as a Gallery Walk on the last day, so make sure to mark
your calendars at home, spread the work, and invite friends and family to see all of the hard work
you have put in to this project. A reminder about the Gallery Walk will be sent home a week
before the date as a reminder to students and parents.

Part I:
 Create a “text” (Oral, written, or multimedia) that demonstrates your ability to code-
switch for specific audiences and purposes. (Objectives 2, 4, 5)

o First, you will need to determine whether or not you wish to work individually on
this project of with a partner. While you may self-select for groups, the group
should be no larger than 3-4 students.
The groups will need to be finalized by Day 7.

o Next, you will need to determine the audience and topic for your project. You
will also need to determine the format of your project (ie. Song, poetry/writing
compilation, picture book for elementary students, mini-lesson for parent’s night,
podcast, talk show…).
This information will need to be finalized by Day 8.

o There will be plenty of time to work on this part of the assignment in class, but if
your group needs more time to work on it, it is your responsibility to work on it
outside of class.
The final project is due at the end of class on Day 11.

*If you wish to work on this at school during lunch, please see me in class, or send me an email,
and I will make myself and my classroom available to you during that time.

Part II:
 An artist statement/reflection where they will describe how they feel language is a part of
their own identity. (Objective 1, 3 & 6)

o The first component of the reflection will be to briefly discuss how you feel the
creation and presentation of the project went. This is your opportunity to express
how you felt the group dynamic was, how you felt the Gallery Walk went, etc.
 o The second component will be to reflect on how you feel language is a part of
your own identity. To guide you, think about all the different language variations
you have learned in the unit, their history, and how different authors have
attributed their language variations to their identity.
The reflection will be due at the end of class on Day 11.

PART III:
 After final gallery walk presentation, the students will give and receive feedback. They
will identify characteristics from their peers’ projects that they respect or admire.
(Objective 3 & 7)

o The first component of this part will be the project presentations during the
Gallery Walk. You will be presenting your projects during the first hour of the
class period. You will also get the opportunity to explore, and look some of the
projects your peers have created in order to give them feedback.

o The second component of this part will take place during the last 30 minutes of
class. You will be asked to give feedback the two peer projects that you were
assigned to, and that you observed during the gallery walk.

o The entirety of Part III is due in class on Day 12.
