The purpose of this Assignment is twofold. First, you will create an effective assessment tool to be used by students to show mastery of the learning objectives in your Five-day Instructional Unit. Second, you will create a scoring rubric to guide students as they work on their assessment.
In Unit 1, you choose your theme and objectives for your Five-day Instructional Unit. Now that you have determined the learning objective, you will create a product that will allow your students to show mastery of the standard(s). ( attached use this)
For this assessment, you need to think of something other than a traditional “test” which the student will be able to complete and is aligned with the learning objectives of your instructional unit. Here are some assessment suggestions:
Create a simulation Create a report which could be presented orally or in print Create a group project Create a task for others to complete / something the student would teach
Once you have created the assessment, you will then create a scoring rubric which tells students what a completed assignment or finished product should include and contain information which you, as the teacher, will use to determine a student’s score, grade, or level of mastery. A sample rubric can be found in “Where Great Teaching Begins” figure 8.4 on p.143. (attached example)
Central Focus: Relationship between individual and society.
Content Standard(s)(type it out exactly as worded): This document will be read and used in conjunction with the document From principles into practice, which provides the framework for teaching and learning in individuals and societies in the primary academic curriculum. This document will provide the framework for teaching and learning in the primary academic curriculum. In addition to this, it will examine the general information regarding the program as well as the unit planner. The unit planner will include guidelines for developing the curriculum that are applicable to all subject groups, in-depth information regarding learning approaches, guidance that supports access and inclusion, and a statement on academic honesty.
Look at your content standard above, review what it is asking them to do? What do they need to know in order to master the standard? (terms, facts, formulas, events, procedures, etc.) What the students will need to know to master the standard will include terms like the nature of society which is that society is an impersonal concept that refers to the intricate web of interrelationships that exists between and among the individuals that make up the group. Society can be said to exist anywhere there are human interactions, whether they are positive or negative, appropriate or inappropriate. Because these social interactions are not readily apparent and do not have any concrete basis, society might be thought of as an abstract concept. In its most fundamental sense, society refers to a state or condition, a relationship, and is hence always an abstraction. Society is not a collection of individuals. Relationships are organized into groups to form societies. It encompasses the entirety of the complexities that are human interactions. It encompasses the entirety of the human relationship spectrum. The consciousness of another presence, a common purpose, or a common interest is a physical element that is always present in social connections. This awareness can take the shape of a physical touch. Now, one might say that society is the union itself, the organization, the total of formal relations in which associating individuals are joined together. This is what one can mean when they state that society is. Individuals, as well as the structure that is generated by the individuals’ interactions with one another and with one another, are essential components of societies.
Look at your standard above and asking yourself that question…”what do they need to be able to do?” (big ideas, concepts, principles, “how’s and whys”) Based on the definition of the term society, what the student will be able to do, is to ensure that they have an interactive sessions that are can guide them in understanding what is required for an individual in order to relate well with the society. In this case the curriculum object is going to focus more on the individual behavior and their role in ensuring that there is a workable relationship between then as individual and between them as a contributory part of the larger society.
What TERMS will students need to know? (vocabulary) In this programs some of the terms that the students will need to know is, what is the meaning of a society, what is the meaning of an individual, what is the nature of the society, and how does individual activities impact on the society.
Now that you have determined the “know” and “do” from the above content standard, break it up into five days of instruction. If your standard can be accomplished in a day or two, then complete the process above for the next sequential standard and continue the process until you have five days’ worth of instructional goals.
