Lesson Assessments
- Direct Instruction: Each member of the group will be responsible for copying down the major points(at least 2) from the other two areas of specialty and each student will hand this in at the end of the class. Students will spend 5 minutes filling out Self and Peer Assessment 2 (CLICK TO DOWNLOAD) and will hand this in when they are done. Students will also write a journal entry, to be collected at the end of the class, on at least 5 things they learned during that lesson.
- Concept Lesson: “In order to gauge student comprehension and understanding of the concept [constitutional monarchy], students will be given a number of cases. They will be tasked with reading cases and deciding whether or not they are examples or non-examples of [constitutional monarchy] by testing cases for critical attributes. If they are non-examples, they must decide what attributes could be altered to describe [a constitutional monarchy]. Following this activity, students will come up with one or two examples of [constitutional monarchy] not already discussed in class. All worksheets will be collected in order to check for completion as well as an understanding of the topic and to gauge the success of the lesson. Students will be graded on completion of the worksheets, and correct identification of examples and non-examples.” Students will also write, in two paragraphs, the development from a monarchy to a constitutional monarchy during the French Revolution and how France was or was not a constitutional monarchy under Napoleon. If you refer back to the "Lessons" page, and download the "Concept Lesson" document, you will find the assessment attached in there.
- Multimedia Inquiry: Students will complete a two-column chart with 80% accuracy located within the Multimedia Inquiry Lesson document on the "Lessons" page.
- Cooperative Learning: Upon completing the graffiti model, students will fill out a group evaluation form (the same Self and Peer Assessment 2 form located under Direct Instruction) and then participate in a short discussion in which they summarize the answers provided at each station and make generalizations about those answers.
- Socratic Seminar: The teacher will have a list of students names and put a mark next to each student who speaks with an additional mark for every time the student speaks again.A graphic organizer (CLICK TO DOWNLOAD) will be provided prior to the start of the dialogue in which the students will fill out and turn in for grading.
