Today in class, we partnered up with our field work groups in order to discuss what activities we will be incorporating into our unit. Our group is assigned the topic "The Declaration of Independence".
These are some of the activities we are thinking of doing with our group:
1) Have an artifact bag as an opening activity2)Have students create a Voki of Thomas Jefferson, one of the leading authors of the document.
3)Let students create their own declaration of Independence as a small group.
We will be creating our own document as Group C to show students an example. 4) As a final assessment, We will have students create a graphic organizer based on what they have learned about the declaration of Independence.
As a diagnostic assessment, Dr.Smirnova made us create houses and think about where we would put standards, instruction, assessment, and learning as the building structures of the house. This is what our group came up with:
(for assessment the continuation of it is "comes off of instruction to help students do their work and make progress with it)
Today, I learned that teachers need to have validity with their assessments. This means that as a teacher, you are asking "is it true as to what I want to assess, is it valid?" Assessments are reliable when the results are consistent. Also, evaluation is interpreting all the measures you used in order to assess the students and then you can look at the grade for evidence.
It was interesting to hear how other groups had their houses built and where they put certain categories. Dr.Smirnova told us that our group was on the right track with the structure. I really enjoyed doing this activity in class because it made me think and I was also able to debate/discuss it with other members in my group.
