This is a sample writing piece from the fairy tale adaptations that one of my students composed.
On writing pieces I discussed with my students an aspect that they did a great job with and also gave them an area that they could work to improve in.
For example I had notated these comments before speaking with the student:
"I really like your Star Wars adaptation of the story. All the changes you made work together nicely and I really enjoyed it. You used some dialogue but I’d like to see you use some more dialogue to really bring the characters alive."
Students had been reading and writing about fairy tales and to assess their understanding of the roles characters play in a story I had my students create hero cards or wanted posters for villains. Students had to draw a picture and write details about the character.
Students had been working to develop strategies to working with fractions. I had students engage in problem solving to illustrate the strategy they used and to share with their classmates.
Practice performance assessment fractions.docxA practice fractions performance assessment I created to gauge student's performance prior to assessments issued prior to the end of the unit.
Students wrote reports on two field trip visits. Students provided a picture with a captain and wrote a summary of the activities and about their learning.
The above is one a story planning booklet. Students retold and summarized the Three Little Pigs in four scenes.
An experiment worksheet where students could record information about the experiment. Students wrote about their work and were asked to explain why their design worked or did not work.
Science Chapter 12 Lesson 1 observation table.docxA table for students to record and notate observations from the experiment.
Students worked on a content based science review sheet. Each student corrected their own worksheets.
Students completed a self-assessed rubric. This allows students to reflect on their work to highlight areas that needed improvement and areas they did well in.
When I assess student's work I like to provide them with small corrections to help them identify where their misunderstanding was.
In other instances I circle the question in error to tell the student that they had made an error. I use this for when students make a careless error.
