9. ​Assessment: ​I will be grading my students on
The worksheet
Dish they prepared/presentation
A total of 15 points
-All my students should get ​5 points​​ on the worksheet since I will personally check it
before they glue the pieces
-If students fail to inform me to check their worksheets then their grade will drop.
-Grade may also drop if pictures are not colored in.

Presentation/preparing dish is worth ​10 points

-​​If students explain what food group the items on their plate correctly belong and they tell
me why they chose those items than they get a perfect score
-If they say something like “I picked yogurt because I like to eat it” their score will not be
a 10.
-Also I want to see how well they work with their partner, that will count towards their
grade as well.
