Purposes of AssessmentAssessment of learning-Summative
Used to report levels of achievement when teachers are evaluating a student’s achievement of larger outcomes (curriculum expectations) for grading purposes.
Focus on Thinking Skills Acquisition of Knowledge Comprehension Application Analysis Synthesis Evaluation Dialectical Thought Metacognition
Example of a summative assessmentGrade 4 Mixed MessagesHow we Express Ourselves
Central idea: Human
communication occurs in a variety of ways and is open to diverse interpretation.
Lines of inquiry: Ways in which humans
communicate How and why
messages are misinterpreted
Impact of media on messages received
Responsibility of people to communicate effectively
Example of a summative assessment Task: Students will view a painting and write a
paragraph to describe what they believe is happening in the picture based on what they see.
Students will then listen to a piece of music, while still looking at the paining, and will write another paragraph on how their interpretation of the painting has changed or stayed the same based on the music.
Student will listen to another piece of music and write another paragraph on how their interpretation of the painting has changed or stayed the same based on the music.
