Assessment Plan - Google Docs

For the pre-assessment of my unit plan, the students gathered around into a large group to

listen to my instructions. I gave each student a handout and, on the handout, there was a KWL

chart (What I Know, What I want to know and I a learned) about informational text. I explained

what was expected in each category. I emphasized that it was a pre-assessment or a pretest. It is

to measure how much they knew about the informational text. In addition, I told the students that

it was totally fine to have an empty column for any three as they are working on the KWL chart.

Before I let the students work on the handouts, I asked one volunteer to summarize the

instruction for the pre-assessment. Student S summarized it and it seemed like every student

understood what to do. Due to time restrictions, I could not gather the students back to share

some thoughts that each student wrote on the chart. I collected all the handouts and made a small

chart of what kind of similar questions or statements were brought up in the handouts. Overall,

from this information that I collected, I could clearly see most of the students knew what

informational text was but they were not confident about how or why it was written. I believe it

would be a good way to open up a lesson answering some of the questions that were brought up

in the chart.

The formative assessment will have been shown when the students are working to

organize and research their information, writing a paragraph and sharing their work to the class.

When the students are organizing and researching their information, the teacher may see that

they are physically working on their information, and the teacher can ask them why or how they

would organize the information in order to enhance their reasoning skills as well. The teacher

can first ask questions and making suggestions about methods they could use to organize the

information and start to build from there. If the students are stuck or struggling, the teacher can

ask strategic questions to give students hints and ideas to help their thinking running without

providing straight answers. In addition, the teacher can assess when the students are sharing in

large group discussions. From the answers and attitude of the students, the teacher can observe

how much they have understood the content and maybe give them more time on certain aspects

later on.

Assessment as learning for students will be mostly done from a rubric and checklist. The

teacher will hand out the checklist with all the components and expectations of the informational

text that the students have to create. From the checklist, the students can self monitor where they

are in the process. In addition, as the students are working on their informational text, the

students will be given rubric of how the informational text will be graded on. They will have a

chance to look back and match it with the rubric to self assess their own work. Finally, the

teacher will have a daily objective written on the board every day. The students will be able to

look at the daily objective and self monitor how much they have understood and learned to

accomplish that daily objective.

The summative assessment is the final products of the unit. It would be the final

published writing of their nonfiction text. The students will type out their informational text in at

the end of the unit. All the steps before the final paper will be part of a summative assessment as

well. For example, the paper the student used to brainstormed or paper they used to give

feedbacks or edit their work is a summative assessment to compare before and after if the

students have improved. In the end, the teacher will assess students informational text by reading

and comparing to the rubric to see how much they met the rubric standards.
