[MUSIC] Hi and welcome back to Assessing Achievement with the ELL in Mind. In this classroom application, you will be provided with three assessment scenarios. I'm using rubrics to grade ELL's work at the basic, intermediate, and advanced levels in various content areas to practice using rubrics and giving effective feedback. Let's get started. Scenario 1 is for an elementary science class. The learning objective is, by the end of this lesson the students will be able to apply concepts of the earth's orbit to different calendars. The language objective is, by the end of this lesson, the students will be able to use compare and contrast transitions. The assessment is as follows, research the Mayan calendar. Write a paragraph comparing the calendar with the calendar we use today. Draw a picture of the calendar to go with your paragraph. Here is an example of one language criteria on a rubric to score the use of compare and contrast transitions. You can take a minute to pause and reflect on the different scores. Effective feedback for an intermediate student would be as follows. Your research on the Mayan calendar is outstanding and your comparisons to the calendar we use today are clear. Well done. Your use of compare and contrast tradition is very good and helps your paper read smoothly. Be careful with the structure blank is different from or than blank. As you wrote, today's calendar is different of the Mayan calendar. See your chart for other language corrections. Overall, good job. Scenario 2 is for an Elementary Social Studies lesson. The Learning Objective is by the end of this lesson, the students will be able to identify natural resources and their many uses. The Language Objective is, by the end of this lesson, students will be able to use the phrase are/is used for correctly in definition sentences. The assessment is as follows, make a chart listing four natural resources and an explanation of two ways each is used. Here is an example of two language criteria on a rubric to score the user of grammatical structures. You can take a minute to pause and reflect on the different scores. Effective feedback for a basic student would be, your chart of natural resources is very good. Your information on the chart is correct. Can you think of another way to use wind? Continue to practice the is/are used for structure. Remember that subject and verbs always have to agree. Example, water is used for drinking. Natural gasses are used for heating homes. Scenario 3 is a secondary language arts lesson. The learning objective is, by the end of this lesson, the student will be able to analyze literature to make real world connections. The language objective is, by the end of this lesson, the student will be able to use past tense to report events. The assessment is as follows. After conducting research, list 10 facts about the author. Then choose 3 facts and make a connection to the novel you read. In what ways was the author reminiscent of his or her life experiences? Here's an example of one language criteria on a rubric to score the use of past tense verbs. You can take a minute to pause and reflect on the different scores. Effective feedback for an advanced student would be, wow! You found some real interesting facts about your author and made some very thoughtful and clear connections to his writing. I bet it was interesting to see how much his life influences his choice of topic. Continue to work on topic sentences for each of the paragraphs. See correction code for those paragraphs that need one. Good job using the past tense correctly to discuss the life of your author. Be careful of spelling on some of the irregular past tense verbs-use spell check and your list common irregular verbs to help with this. Keep up the good work.
