week+5

Please read the following power point: __**your assignment:**__ You need to write a rubric for a class assignment in which eighth grade students need to write an essay about the most important amendment. After you finish choose to assess (based on your rubric) one essay from the two samples of students’ work in the wiki (you can assess both samples if you want). After you finish write 2 pages of reflection upon this experience. In your reflection you may need to consider answering the following questions: 1. Was the rubric helpful, why and why not? 2. If you notice that the majority of students in your class share the same pattern of mistake (that you already found in this assessment). What would you do in order to prevent them from having the same mistake in the future? How would you change your planning or your instruction in the future based on the assessment results? Why? 3. As social studies teacher in the future, would you use the same essay test? Why and why not? 4. What kind of specific help you may consider in supporting student’s learning (based on your assessment results).
