EDSS 541 Reading Response #20

IDENTIFY 2-3 assessment strategies you can use in your unit.


The final assessment I would like to implement would be a free form reflection. Students could write, record, or present their thoughts on the unit, time travel, and the service learning project. Some students like to write essay and they can do that. But I think I need to be mindful of not wearing out the writing process. This will allow students of all needs to present information in whatever form they like. Essentially they choose their differentiation they want, but not matter what they should engage in reflective critical thinking.


I also like the use of self grading. This could be part of the reflection, or done separately on other assignments. While someone may be quick to assume that students will all give themselves the highest mark, I think certain rules would come into play. Students would be able to pick their grade, but they would have to justify it. Not only does this mean they have do more critical thinking and formulate an argument for themselves, the students should also keep this in mind while they are working. While completing each assignment, they may work harder knowing they are going to have to justify it.
