 Informal Assessment(+justification)
My informal assessment is a project. This will utilize student demonstrations and student
observations. The project will be a life size graphic organizer. Students will be broken up into
groups of 3-4 and assigned a character from the book. The life size graphic organizer will need to
include aspects of their personalities. For example: If the student is assigned Percy, they will
need to include his powers(maybe around his hand), his point of view(his eyes), his way of
thinking(head), etc.
Formal Assessment(+justification)
I choose to have a quiz as my formative assessment. I think quizzes are less intimidating
than a test and they’re faster. I would like to have one at the beginning of the week and the end of
the week to show the students’ thought development. The quizzes wouldn’t be very long, just
long enough to gauge their understanding of the standards we have done for the week. I have
linked an example quiz. I would like to have students create the questions throughout the week
and then choose 5 for them to answer at the end of the week.

Proficiency Scale Explanation

The proficiency scale used is the same one my PLC group developed adjusted for my
grade level and standards. The goal of it is to have students build upon their knowledge
throughout the lesson. Students with a score of 2.0 are able to identify basic characteristics of the
characters as well as explain the relationships of the major characters. Those who reach a 4.0
score are able to explain the more complex relationships in the text and understand how the
relationships and point of views in the text affect and push the storyline.
