Evaluate 1.1.3 The Summative Assessment

Summative Assessment 

This summative assessment would be used in an English classroom to assess student's mastery to constructing an argument. 

Validity is assessed by creating learning goals and objectives which are aligned to national standards and aligning both lessons, formative assessment questions, and the summative assessment. 

Reliability is assessed using previous assessments from writing task. As a teacher, one should be able notice variances in student writing and word choice based off discussion task and other writing task. 

Security is hard to guarantee on writing task but I would take precautions like using a search engine to ensure students didn't copy and paste off the internet. 





Evaluate 1.1.2 Quality Feedback

Quality Feedback 

As a Language Arts teacher, it is important to give students individualized feedback especially when it comes to writing and composing.  I use Google Drive in my classroom which makes it easier for me to provide feedback to my students.


The student and I exchanged comments about the direction of the paper that is not seen to protect the identity of the student. 

Evaluate 1.1.1 Formative Assessment

Formative Assessment
