Formative Assessment #4

Learning objective: Students will demonstrate their understanding of the concept that models

and maps represent real places by comparing images and identifying the key details with 90%

accuracy.

Explanation of the assessment: The students will first receive an image that could be different

maps, such as bedroom map, wide world map, street map, kitchen map, state map, etc. or it could

be random images, such as a basketball, the sun, Mr. Potatohead, etc. The pocket chart was

hooked on the whiteboard with “Is it a Map?” and “Yes” or “No” labeled for the students to

have a better understanding and visually see where their image belongs. Then, the students will

write their name on the back and then will be able to come up and say what the image is, discuss

1 key point, and put it in the correct side on the pocket chart.

Rationale: When completing the formative assessment, the students will be able to see different

images of maps and hear the class discussing as a whole to have a better understanding of two

key details in each image. This lets the students learn about many different maps at once. It is

important to let the students know that we all might have different things in our rooms and how

that is okay because everyone is different in their own way.

Scoring Guide Description:

This scoring guide is for the teacher to check to make sure that the students are understanding a

map and the key details. The students are asked to identify what was just made by asking “The

students can identify what their map is” and then being able to answer and say a bedroom map. It

is important to make sure that the students are labeling two things on their map and then be able

to explain to the person beside them. This works with communication and lets the classmates talk

about their creation and what is located on their map

Scoring Guide Description: This scoring guide description is for the teacher to keep track of the

students' work when completing the pocket cart. This lets students compare maps and truly get

an understanding of what a map is and what could be located on the map. The questions ask the

students if they can write their name on the back of their image, identify their image, and identify

2 key points.

Differentiated Scoring Guide: The scoring guide asks the students if they can identify the

image and say 1 key point of their image. This gets the students engaging by looking at an image

and choosing by circling a thumbs up or thumbs down. The students get interact when coming to

the pocket chart and placing the image under the Yes or No for if the image is a map or not.
