Student Response and Assessment Tools

Lesson Idea Name: Elected Officials

Content Area: Social Studies
Grade Level(s): 2nd
Content Standard Addressed:
SS2CG2 Identify the following elected officials of the executive branch and where they work:
1. President (leader of our nation) and Washington, D.C. – White House
2. Governor (leader of our state) and Atlanta, GA – State Capitol Building
3. Mayor (leader of a city) and city hall
Technology Standard Addressed:
1c. Empowered Learner: Students use technology to seek feedback that informs and improves their
practice and to demonstrate their learning in a variety of ways.
Selected Technology Tool:
☐ Socrative ☐ iRespond ☒ Quizlet ☐ Plickers ☐ Kahoot! ☐ Office365 Forms
☐ Other:
URL(s) to support the lesson (if applicable):

Technology that student will use to respond to questions/prompts:

☒ Computer ☐ Hand-held student response system (like iRespond) ☐ Phone ☒ Tablet (such
as iPad)
☐ Other wireless device (such as iPod Touch)
Type of session:
☐ Teacher-Paced ☒ Student-Paced
Bloom’s Digital Taxonomy Level(s):
☒ Remembering ☒ Understanding ☒ Applying ☐ Analyzing ☐ Evaluating ☐
Creating

Levels of Technology Integration:

☒ Infusion Level: Students may work at a higher Bloom’s Level, but they do not have any “Voice
or Choice” during the activity and most of the decisions are made by the teacher.

☐ Integration Level: We would like to see ALL lessons/activities reach this level. The project is
student-driven. Students have “Voice and Choice” in the activities, selecting the topic of study and
determining the technology tool to demonstrate mastery of the standard. The teacher becomes
more of a facilitator.
☐ Expansion Level: The projects created are shared outside of the classroom, publishing student
work and promoting authorship. This could be reached by showcasing the project on the school’s
morning newscast, posting the project to the classroom blog, or publishing via an outside source.

Describe the instructional activities that will occur PRIOR to the SRT activity and how you
will introduce the SRT activity.
Students will be introduced and taught about the different elected officials and where they work. They
will have the time to explore and practice the vocabulary by using the productivity tool BrainPoP.
Once the information has been study students are going to be introduce to Quizlet. I will be telling

students that they are going to be taking a quiz to help me know what they have learned.

Describe the purpose of the SRT activity (check all that apply):
☒ Assess prior knowledge ☐ Anticipatory set (Create interest in a topic) ☐ To illuminate
common misconceptions ☐ Formative assessment of content knowledge (for purpose of
differentiation and mastery for ALL students) ☒ Summative assessment of content knowledge
☒ Test preparation
☐ Survey/Poll ☐ Discussion starter ☐ “Homework” collection ☐ Other (please explain):

Briefly describe what will happen DURING the SRT activity: Students will be directed to get a
laptop from the classroom laptop cart. The teacher will direct students to the following
https://quizlet.com/_8iqf70?x=1jqt&i=2y5jzw.
During the SRT activity students will work independently to answer 9 questions on this formative
assessment. This activity should not take longer than 20 minutes. Each student is going to have access
to a computer or iPad.

Type of questions/prompts used in this activity (check all that apply):

☐ Multiple choice ☒ Multiple select ☐ True/False ☐ Yes/No
☐ Short open-ended response or fill-in the blank ☐ Longer open-ended response
If you are unable to provide a working sample of your questions, please list them below (8-10):

Right/Wrong answers: Will there be right/wrong answers to these questions?

☐ Yes ☒ No
☐ Mixed (Some will have correct answers, other will not.)
Immediate corrective feedback: Will you pre-select correct answers to some of all of the questions
and display correct response to the class after the SRT activity?
☒ Yes
☐ No
Why or why not? Students will be quizzing themselves as they need to.

Describe what will happen AFTER the SRT activity? After the SRT activity I will go over each
question to verify which questions they missed in order to help clear up any misunderstanding or
confusion.

How will the data be used?

I will use this data to see which terms students missed the most and which ones I will need to review
more heavily in class. This particular assessment will be used to monitor student’s progress in a
formative manner. It is possible this data may be used in a parent conference.

Describe your personal learning goal for this activity.

I hope to motive my students with this activity to learn these terms and provide a fun way for them to
learn them. I hope this will help students review these terms in a way that is best for them and at the
pace that is comfortable to them.
Reflective Practice:
Students can practice using the matching games after they have taken the quiz. The teacher will
encourage students to use practice games within Quizlet. The variety of games allows for student

individuality. This will hopefully make learning fun and engaging.
