Reflection: Question 4

Planning Assessment: Embed or link to your assessment tools and describe how you will demonstrate The performance of linked goals and/or objectives:

The assessment links directly with what the students will have taught through their presentation to their peers. The Power Point is built with each slide as a question that the students will answer independently. They will have taken notes from each other’s presentation and should be able to answer the twenty corresponding questions. Student engagement in higher order thinking: The students’ engagement in higher order thinking occurs during the “students-teaching-students” process. They have to reverse roles with the teachers and teach each other about one of three cultures that are important to American history. Meeting individual student needs: As far as meeting individual needs with this assessment, depending on the specific need of the student, I will pull the students back, print the questions for them to have in hand, allot more time, and walk-through the question with deeper explanation for better understanding. This assessment will be a precursor to what will have to be taught by the actual teacher after the students have had a chance to teach.
