Week 7- Evaluating and Assessment
Evaluation and Assessment
The artifacts below are all based on a cross curricular PBL project. The driving question is
How Can We Ensure the Health and Safety of Animals When Taken Out of Their Natural Habitat?
Students will be placed in collaborative groups based on their feedback from the Google Form. Students will research their animal in reading workshop, learn about adaptations in science, draw their animal in Art, and build their new zoo enclosure in STEM and Art. The nearest zoo offers programs that bring animals to schools and talks about the different habitats that they provide their animals. This will be the kick off event. Students will be writing about their findings through research in writer's workshop. At the end of this project, students will hopefully be able to showcase their new enclosures to zoo design engineers and be given feedback. Before the project starts, they will be given the provided rubric to understand what the requirements are throughout the entire project.
As a more formative assessment, students will watch and answer questions using the Playposit.
As time consuming as it is, I feel that PBL is extremely beneficial to student learning. Providing a meaningful experience and audience to students enhances the learning experience compared to “sit and get” instruction.
Application:
The Playposit was created with the Redundancy Multimedia Principle in mind. Have voice (human voice/Voice Principle) and graphics displayed without text present on the screen.
For the Google Form, I will change or add in photos of the animals instead of having just text.
Reflection:
I enjoyed the challenge of extending and creating materials for a beginning PBL project. This definitely required me to think deeper and become more creative.
