Math Example:
In groups students who have been working on the distributive property of multiplication are given a table with information and answer the prompt,  Forty people on the Chicago tour go on the bus tour of Chinatown. How much does it cost in all? Use place value, the Distributive Property, or a number line to solve. Explain your answer and show your work in a chart.  Present your understandings by explaining your strategy, reason you chose the strategy and how it relates to what the problem is asking.

Students work in groups to read the graph together.  They decide what information is important, how they will use it and solve in presentations of their strategies.  This task requires the use of academic specific language along with an explanation of language objectives as related to the content learned.  Educators can use this performance assessment to judge what misconceptions students have and whether reteaching or enrichment are needed.]]> 2017-12-05 03:48:51 UTC https://padlet.com/sylvavergara/pyn3w894zdzb/wish/213143271 sylvavergara https://padlet.com/sylvavergara/pyn3w894zdzb/wish/213144754 Provide a way to measure higher order thinking skills 

Measures how well a students understands or comprehends objectives

Students create a product/response

Students perform a set of tasks

Students demonstrate and articulate understandings]]> 2017-12-05 04:02:56 UTC https://padlet.com/sylvavergara/pyn3w894zdzb/wish/213144754 sylvavergara https://padlet.com/sylvavergara/pyn3w894zdzb/wish/213146830 Students working in science groups can demonstrate understanding of language and content objectives

Science Example:
Students can work in pairs or in groups to develop projects that answer a question they generate using the scientific method. Students are required to follow a rubric and include a question, hypothesis, method to discovering the answer to their question, materials, list of procedures, record observations and results, provide an analysis of results and draw conclusions.]]> 2017-12-05 04:22:10 UTC https://padlet.com/sylvavergara/pyn3w894zdzb/wish/213146830 https://padlet.com/sylvavergara/pyn3w894zdzb/wish/213818646 Have students create a Google Sites with each web page housing portfolio pieces from each content area.  At the end of the year students will have a completed personalized product where they are show casing pieces they choose to post on their Google Site.

Each product added to a web page must include a reflection where students explain the objective of the assignment, why they believe they achieved the objective, and personal thoughts on what they enjoyed most/least about the activity]]> 2017-12-06 17:33:22 UTC https://padlet.com/sylvavergara/pyn3w894zdzb/wish/213818646 https://padlet.com/sylvavergara/pyn3w894zdzb/wish/213822306 Have students create a slide deck of themselves acting out the plot of a story.  Students will learn to use the animation tools so slides can transition by themselves and embed their own voice recording.  Students can share digital stories with one another to watch.

Have students practice with reading a story out loud first as the audio recording for a slide deck, then students can learn to retell the story in their own words for the following project.

Digital story must include:
Characters
Setting
Plot
Creativity]]> 2017-12-06 17:39:27 UTC https://padlet.com/sylvavergara/pyn3w894zdzb/wish/213822306
