Emily Atkins Assessment Plan Assignment 2

Client Information: My client will be Jennifer Ford (GA teaching certification number 723794). She is a 3rd grade teacher at King Springs Elementary which is part of the Cobb County School District in Georgia. Jennifer’s email address is [email protected]. Performance Task Title: The Dangers of Drugs and Alcohol Infographics Grade Level: 3rd grade Designer: Emily Atkins Performance Task Annotation: Students will use the infographic making website easel.ly to produce an infographic on the dangers of drugs and alcohol. Subjects: Health, Technology Approximate Duration: Four Days; four 30 minute sessions Focus Standards: HE3.1: Students will comprehend concepts related to health promotion and disease prevention to enhance health. National Standards: NETS-S Standard 3 3a. Students plan and employ effective research strategies to locate information and other resources for their intellectual or creative pursuits. 3b. Students evaluate the accuracy, perspective, credibility and relevance of information, media, data or other resources. Description and Teacher/Trainer Directions: 1. The teacher will prepare for this lesson by familiarizing themselves with infographics and the web program easel.ly. This video is a good starting point: https://www.easel.ly/blog/how-to-make-infographics-with-students/ 2. This is a summative assessment after a week of lessons on the dangers and effects of drugs, alcohol, and tobacco. The teacher will begin by reviewing with students the dangers and effects of each; drugs, alcohol, and tobacco. 3. The teacher will explain the assignment, explain what an infographic is and show common examples of infographics (like the health based My Plate used earlier in the year). The teacher will give the students an opportunity to play with easel.ly to get comfortable with the program.

4. The next day, the teacher will pass out text books and copies of the infographic rubric. The teacher will explain the rubric and use the student work example below to model what students should create. 5. The students will use prior knowledge and the health text to research topic. (extension students will use web resource, kiddle.co as well). They will need to pick two (drugs, alcohol, or tobacco) and find 3 effects/dangers of each. Students will put information on a graphic organizer. 6. The next day, students will create a paper and pencil rough draft of what they want their infographic to look like and how information will be displayed. Students will be encouraged to create an outline. Student will turn rough draft into teacher for approval. 7. Finally, the next day or two, students will use their rough draft and easel.ly to make their infographic. They may find images through easel.ly or creativecommons.org. The student will call for the teacher when they think they are complete, before printing to color printer in media center. Rubric Title: Rubric for Drugs and Alcohol Infographic Rubric Description: This rubric is based on the 1-3 scale used for grading in 3rd grade. 1 equals not making adequate progress toward meeting the standard. 2 equals making progress toward meeting the standard. 3 equals mastery of the standard. I have put the two standards I want to assess (heath and technology) as well as a grammar, which is also an assessed standard in the rubric. Students must have 3 effects for each topic (their choice of a drug, alcohol, or tobacco) and images to go with those facts to show mastery.
