Module+11+Part+3

= Module 11 Part 3 = = Step 7: Reading about Assessment = **We read this chapter before, but I want you to re-read this section on Assessment!** **Go to this website:** ** [|jonathan.mueller.faculty.noctrl.edu/toolbox/] ** **. Read the sections: "What is it? Why do it? and How do you do it?"**

**What makes an assessment authentic?**

**Step 8: Go to this link (Kathy Schrock's Guide for Educators).** ** [|school.discoveryeducation.com/schrockguide/assess.html] ** **.** **This is the most comprehensive list of sites for assessment that I can give you! It is a gold mine!** **Did you know that there are rubric generators available on the Internet that develop rubrics for you? Scroll down Kathy's page to the section titled: //Rubric Builders, Generators, and Support//. Explore!**

You can also just do a search in Google by using "using rubrics for assessment" and get a wealth of links!

If you find a link you would like to share with us...add it to the Module 11 Resource Links page!!!

= Step 9: Okay...here is your assignment for this week. =

==You can design a rubric to evaluate a product that the students created in your Virtual Field Trip, if you want. Or you can design a rubric for another pretend lesson/activity. Be creative! The goal here is to experiment with the rubric builders! You will need to do the following:**==

**3. Steps for the lesson:**
** What will your investigation //question// be for the lesson (essential question)? This question will be used to engage or excite student interest! 3 points ** **State what the students will do for this activity. What does the lesson look like? What are the students doing? 5 points** **4. Evaluation: Here is your rubric or scoring guide that you made using one of the sites you found. 12 points** **Total Points: 25**

= **You must include the actual rubric that you design! This is the purpose of this assignment!!!!** = // **Upload your file on the "Module 11 Assignment Page" so that we can all see your work! Go to this page and click the Edit button at the top.** // // **Type your name and then go to the File button at the top of the page and attach your saved file. Yes...put it right here on our Wiki!** //

// **Then click the Save button when you are finished!** // // **(If you have trouble, go back to Angel and upload it there. I'm trying to give you a back-up plan!)** //

**My thoughts:**

=
To keep your lesson on track, it is best to identify your standards that you are going to teach and then develop your criteria for student success. What do you want the students to be able to do so that you know that they get it? Then design your assessment! ======

=
Lesson planning takes time...especially to develop one that uses time wisely, meets the curriculum standards, engages students in authentic tasks, and has student success! ======

**Authentic?** Don't have students develop a colony that will live on the planet Saturn if that not a possibility! That is not authentic!! Get it? =
