Assessment Plan
Unit Goals Assessments Performance Criterion
Comprehensive Assessment Pre- Each student will be given a chart that says, “Plants can, have, are”. Under each section they will need to tell me what they know about what plants can do, what they are, and what they have (referring to structure of the plant). I choose this as my pre-assessment because I think this will be an overall indication of their knowledge and the beginning of this unit. A writing assessment is a better assessment for my students at this point in the year because they need to be able to use their own knowledge rather than the options given to them in a multiple choice test. I will be using a 1-4 grading rubric that comparing their assessment from the

Students will receive:
1 They show little to no understanding of the needs of growing plants. They misplaced more than six words.
2 They show some understanding of the needs of plants and they misplaced less than four words.
3 They show much understanding of the needs of plants. They only misplaced 2 or less words.
4 They show complete understanding of the needs of plants and they misplaced no words. Formative This learning goal will be assessed through the highlighted word worksheet. Projects and worksheets will be done along with the discussions as a class.
The students will be given the opportunity to participate in an important discussion about how to care for a plant based upon the previous lesson. The students will be given materials to plant their own plant and to give it the care that it needs. The students will be assessed on a check or minus system based on how they choose to care for their own plant. Students will receive a 1-4 grade on the formative assessment as well as a check or minus for participation in the whole group discussion.
Unit Goal 2:
Identify the structures and functions of a plant and plant seed. Pre-Post
Assessment The pre and post assessment will be a cut and paste activity where the students are given the structure of a seed as well as a plant and then a bank of label words that they must cut and paste on the line where they would belong. This assessment will show me which
Notably, the concept of improving plants has existed since the day humans started on the long journey toward agricultural advancement. This was
In the novel, The Botany of Desire, Michael Pollan tells the intriguing story of how plants are domesticated from the perspective of the plant with regards to four specific plants.. The four plants he chose for discussion are the apple, the tulip, marijuana, and the potato. As he discusses the domestication of these plants, his overall focus is the desire that each of these plants have to us as humans. Pollan has written books and magazine articles among other pieces of literature that discuss the relationship between plants and humans. Throughout this informational text, Pollan tries to keep the perspective from the “plant’s-eye view of the world,” but he often slips into Pollan’s eye view of the world. As he talks about experiences that he has had with each of these plants and gives a little bit of their history, it was often hard to stay focused on the topic that he was trying to convey. However, I found that the perspectives that Pollan brings up are interesting to think about. The Botany of Desire was an interesting journal type informational novel that didn’t quite live up to my expectations of what it could have been.
For example interest rates, the cost of raw materials including fuel, the number of sales or orders that we make and in turn all of these rely on other factors. The best therefore that can be done when developing a budget is to look at all the factors that are likely to affect the budget and decide how to take account of each one. If there is a previous budget (last year or last month) then it is sensible to look at how this has been achieved or not as the case may be, and what factors affected the outcome. If we are looking at monthly budgets it might be a better comparison to look at the same month twelve months ago as well as the previous months. The more factors we take into consideration when estimating a budget, the more accurate our budget will be.
Unit 1- 1.1, 1.2-This is a reflective account of the things I have done, experience and knowledge I have gained throughout the assessor 's course mainly during the process of assessment. First, I would like to describe the definition of assessment, its key concepts, stages to show the knowledge and understanding I have gained throughout the course. An assessment is a pre-agreed formal session with the learner. Assessment is judging performance against an agreed standard and is also a way of finding out if learning has taken place. It enables yo assessor to ascertain if learner has gained
From the very beginning of the course, teachers should begin to analyse their learners through initial assessment methods. The assessments best suited to guide improvements in student learning are quizzes, tests, writing assignments, and other assessments such as a group activity. These can easily give the teacher/tutor an insight into the learning needs of the learners. Also
Crevecoeur then goes on to make another comparison when he says “but now by the power of transplantation, like all other plants they have taken root and flourished” (Crevecoeur A: 606). He also used an extended metaphor when he compared people to new plants that “thrive in sunshine and showers of freedom” (Lanagan). Furthermore, these plants bloom into a new social structure and government.
“ There are your radish seeds everyone.” Said Mr. Susick. The whole class looked around at each other with a blank confused face. It was the first day of junior year in my English class. Mr. Susick started talking about how our first assignment would be to grow radishes. We were all thinking, how in the world does gardening relate to English class. I had heard about this project from previous juniors but none of them said what the real reason was. All Mr. Susick said was that you need to let the project teach itself and get into nature. He left us with one bit of information along with the requirements to start. The main goal of the assignment was to extract your own universal truths. For the first time in English class,
Starting off this lesson, we will ask the students what they had for dinner the night before. We will write down some of the food on the board for the class to see. We will then ask the class if these are foods that a plant could eat. We will then explain that plants cannot eat the same food we eat but they have their own food. After explaining that plants cannot eat the
The assessment method that I chose was to ask the students questions about what they
Pre-assessment: Ask students to tell you what they know about the life cycle of butterflies. After brainstorming, categorize the different ideas by the students. Highlight the main categories and ideas that emerged during the
[The formal and informal assessments in the learning segments provided direct evident throughout the learning segments as I was able to incorporate relevant and meaningful assessments with my students. In the first lesson, students will be assessed through an observation during the anticipatory activity. I will use a Smart Presentation in this lesson and have the students determine which items have the greatest/least quantity. I will collect the data using my clipboard. In learning experience 2, students will, again, be observed. I will use a checklist ensuring students are able to read quantities from left to right as well as being able to recognize the three key vocabulary terms for this unit –
Describe the pre-assessment(s) used to establish all students’ baseline knowledge and skills for this lesson.
Assignment 1- What is the purpose of initial assessment and what kind of methods could be used? Evaluate these methods with reference to the ways they can help in the overall objective of achieving learning goals. How can you ensure learners are kept motivated and working towards these goals?
Some plants were changed so they could be safely consumed and some changed by themselves so yes
Assessment for learning is any assessment for which the first priority in its design and practice is to serve the purpose of promoting further student learning and enabling improved student learning through purposeful interaction and providing meaningful feedback. Formative assessment is specifically intended to generate feedback and feed forward on performance to improve, accelerate and enable learning (Sadler, 1998). Formative assessment can and should occur throughout a daily class, through implementation of learning and teaching strategies that lead to both oral and written feedback. The Formative assessment approach is equitable and reliable, producing some significant indicator of student developed understanding that links directly to the syllabus outcomes. This then allows the teacher or other students to respond by trying to
