Authentic Assessment Ideas by Eileen FERNANDEZ-PARKER https://padlet.com/eileen_fernande/ki2sojcei19n Share your grade, subject, and ideas for how you can integrate authenticity into your classroom. en-us 2016-10-20 01:19:02 UTC 2016-10-20 21:17:15 UTC hello@padlet.com Elle Munns 2nd https://padlet.com/eileen_fernande/ki2sojcei19n/wish/132226164 Money/Economics
In 2nd grade we learn about Money/Economics. The students could have the opportunity to learn about producers/consumers, supply and demand and real world selling skills (making/counting change) by making a "Store". The students could be in partners or in groups and create an idea for a real life store and product they could sell. They could go through the motions of making advertisements, making the product and eventually getting to a point where they could sell their products at a booth. As a class or a grade level students would be able to sell their products to other students and have a sort of mall (ex. "Pepperhill Plaza") After the sale the students would be able to discuss supply and demand what sold the most and what didn't how prices effected these things and so on and so forth. Consistently reminding the students that these things are real world skills, this is an opportunity to bring in local store owners, bankers to discuss all the moving pieces that are involved in making a successful business, the research that goes behind selling products as well as the money aspect of it. ]]> 2016-10-20 20:55:46 UTC https://padlet.com/eileen_fernande/ki2sojcei19n/wish/132226164 Sharon Barnett 2nd https://padlet.com/eileen_fernande/ki2sojcei19n/wish/132226736 In second grade we study weather and weather tools used to measure weather. In my classroom I am planning on beginning a Project Based Learning activity in which the students will be creating their own rain gauge. They will be given items to choose from and they have to create their own rain gauge. This will also tie into STEM because students will have to use math and engineering in order to make the rain gauges. This would be real-world because we would put them outside of our classroom and collect data to determine rainfall in our area. We could also discuss the recent flooding in the areas near our school. ]]> 2016-10-20 20:59:26 UTC https://padlet.com/eileen_fernande/ki2sojcei19n/wish/132226736 https://padlet.com/eileen_fernande/ki2sojcei19n/wish/132227094 Suzanne Muoio 9th

Students will be reading different biographies in a jigsaw collaboration group. Then the students will be responsible for being that historical figure in a debate. They will need to debate as their person, and then the class will vote on who would be a good president for our country. Prior to , these students will be given the task to create campaign ads ]]> 2016-10-20 21:03:25 UTC https://padlet.com/eileen_fernande/ki2sojcei19n/wish/132227421 Adrienne Lipscomb https://padlet.com/eileen_fernande/ki2sojcei19n/wish/132227562 I liked the social studies oil spill newscast video.

Students go through the process of registering to vote, going into the booth, and completing the google form to vote. They have to write an opinion piece to support their vote. Now that students know the process, they applied to be president and they are running their own campaigns. They were chosen by a group of teachers and split into half to create the 2 parties. Students create iMovies, posters, slogans, logos, and party names for their groups. The students then have a 'debate' and present their ideas and speeches in front of their parents and other classmates. They will then vote on their classmates. ]]> 2016-10-20 21:04:59 UTC https://padlet.com/eileen_fernande/ki2sojcei19n/wish/132227634 Jennifer Shields https://padlet.com/eileen_fernande/ki2sojcei19n/wish/132227656 In Spanish III Honors (grades 9-12), each student will write his own personal blog in Spanish and share it with an a Spanish speaker in the ESOL group at our high school.

We could do a STEM related project and then use various apps to record and demonstrate our learning. ]]> 2016-10-20 21:05:41 UTC https://padlet.com/eileen_fernande/ki2sojcei19n/wish/132227717 Skylette Scott 1st grade https://padlet.com/eileen_fernande/ki2sojcei19n/wish/132227720
We're about to move onto our nonfiction writing unit "All About ____". We will begin by visiting the Riverbank Zoo in Columbia. The students will have the opportunity to select an animal in which they find interesting at the zoo. They will have clipboards and pencils to write notes about their animals. When we return to the classroom, we will continue to use our chromebooks for further research on their animals to help with their "All About ___" books. The students will present these during our End-of-Unit Writing Celebration.]]> 2016-10-20 21:05:42 UTC https://padlet.com/eileen_fernande/ki2sojcei19n/wish/132227720 Ginnie Huntley https://padlet.com/eileen_fernande/ki2sojcei19n/wish/132227772 3rd grade-I think we could research the effects of hurricanes on erosion, deposition and weathering.

I think it would be a good idea to talk about the real world problem of the pipeline. I think getting some Native American speakers talking about how sacred lands should be treated and having students create PSA's on whether or not we should have the pipeline completed would be a good service project. This would also tie in with our opinion and fact writing unit.]]> 2016-10-20 21:08:38 UTC https://padlet.com/eileen_fernande/ki2sojcei19n/wish/132228140 Melissa Stewart 9-12 Spanish https://padlet.com/eileen_fernande/ki2sojcei19n/wish/132228256 I am hoping to incorporate more of a real world blogging so that my students can use the TL appropriately in real world situations and have native Spanish speakers and other Spanish students read and respond. This will allow them to write and read more effectively! :-)

My students are "interns" who have roles that are found within a publishing house (staff writer, photographer, department chairs, editors, etc.). During the first nine weeks we "teleconferenced" (facetime) with a woman who worked at a magazine in DC. She explained what it's like to work in the publishing industry & the types of jobs available. Each nine weeks I plan to "teleconference" with another person from the publishing industry as we delve deeper into our business and our jobs. 

Each nine weeks we publish a newsletter that includes writing from 5 departments (ELA, math, science, social studies & community), and the end of the year will culminate with the publication of a full length magazine. During the first semester my students are treated as interns & learn all of the jobs. During the second semester, my students will learn to write resumes & how to interview. They will apply for "permanent" positions that they keep the rest of the year. Those positions will be "paid" and math will then be integrated as students learn to budget & pay bills. ]]> 2016-10-20 21:09:41 UTC https://padlet.com/eileen_fernande/ki2sojcei19n/wish/132228290 Jeehan Dinwiddie - CD 4 https://padlet.com/eileen_fernande/ki2sojcei19n/wish/132228324 This year I hope to truly set the stage to engage in my classroom with my next few IB Units of Inquiry.
