week 4 assignment 2

Stage 2: Assessment Evidence

Performance Task(s): (T) Given a choice of texts that was read in class, in pairs, students will choose one text and create a report that demonstrates their understanding of characters and events in the story. They will also include the author's point of view and purpose of the text. Students will use evidence from the text to support their ideas. The performances of understanding will be judged by having each group present their report to the class. During each presentation, the class will fill in a flow chart that includes the following criteria. How each character or main idea/event is introduced in the text, the author's point of view, and the author's purpose. This will determine the presenter's ability to analyze texts and present it and the students understanding of what was presented.

Other Evidence: (OT) Quiz - with quotes from a given text that was read in class, students will explain the statement in their own words and identify the connection to the main idea of the text. After a group discussion of the author's purpose of the text students will determine in groups of 4-5 what evidence in the text supports the author's purpose Students will explain their explanation of the meaning of words to a partner. This will assess whether or not the student understood the quote.
