But group presentation? What "artefacts" coukd you collect for this? LSRW? TASK:<br />participate planning and delivery of group presentstion/project? Do you evaluate? How? (Mental or physical notes on participation, achievements?) I think teacher observation and "assessment" of students goes on all the time - according to "performance criteria" in our heads but not necessarily "tracked" to filfill what are essentially preset TEACHER performance requirements. (iow - all the "assessment creation" and "tracking" and collecting # of artefacts is for seeing what teachers are doing rsther than reliable assessment of student competencies.)<br />claudiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00203496693621797550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828415387916366867.post-70489412210037050742017-04-23T17:01:45.038-07:002017-04-23T17:01:45.038-07:00The best way to edit is to copy into a new comment...The best way to edit is to copy into a new comment and then ask the blog owner to delete the prior one. Anyway, I could understand. Thank you, Claudie, for the ideas! I agree that assessment dampens this! I wish we were not on this crazy hamster-wheel schedule of artefact collection. I feel like I have to weave them in at every opportunity. :(<br />KKellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08182881635816655061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828415387916366867.post-40531137277981522612017-04-23T16:52:35.313-07:002017-04-23T16:52:35.313-07:00Grrr!

Well, hoping you can guess meanings - mire =more; oaper = paper; orocess = process; kevel = level. Sorry!

Ss share something they kniw how to do ( mostly they just tell "How to..." but we have had students bringing in origami oaper fir everyone and giving instructions ( but nit deminstrating); making oaper rises out if oaoer napkins; How to use chopsticks. For high level students the students write orocess paragraphs and classmates take notes. Sonetimes I do a class biard dusplay (outside in the corridor) with the written instructions so other Levels can see examples. I iften video tge "presentations" , send them to students, review pronunciation or flow points ( but not a heavy!) That's when my ipad tells me I need to buy mire Cloud storage....<br />Love your student's pics! Project based kearning. SO MUCH GIES ON! Winwinwin! But I woukd never spoil this with "assessment" beyond deserved lavish praise.IF the students agree - msybe a checklist for elements covered especially higher kevel - transistions)?( But comparisons are odious and I don't want them to see this as competition. claudiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00203496693621797550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828415387916366867.post-6071070637792354722017-04-23T07:58:46.240-07:002017-04-23T07:58:46.240-07:00great idea, Kelly. great idea, Kelly.
