Through a variety of assessments, we realized our students needed improvement in the areas of written and oral language across all subject areas. A significant weakness we noted was writing and speaking in complete sentences. We developed a formative assessment program that would meet the individual needs of our students. In each subject area, we modeled complete sentences, both oral and written. Students were expected to practice writing and speaking in complete sentences. Students were given opportunities to demonstrate their skills using a variety of methods. Students wrote and edited their own writing, edited peers' writing, engaged in question and answer discussions identifying complete and incomplete sentences, created and answered questions for a variety of texts. Technology was integrated throughout the curriculum to enhance student learning.

WoW! You have definietly done a fantastic job of integrating writing and speaking across the curriculum. Each part of your presentation was very well done. I liked the variety and it definitely demonstrated formative and summative assessment.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great variety of ideas for assessing writing/speaking in complete sentences across the curriculum. This will be a valuable resource of other teachers to use.
ReplyDeleteGreat variety -- I loved the "who am I" section. I think I could use that with some of my library skills -- specially learning the Dewey system.
ReplyDeleteGood job, folks. Many great ways to teach your lessons.
ReplyDeleteI loved the way you taught the concept across the curriculum.
