Evaluating and Selecting Assessments —part 1
Read.” “Principles and Practices of Sociocultural Assessment: Foundations for Effective Strategies for Linguistically Diverse Classrooms,” by Smith, Teemant, and Pinnegar, from Multicultural Perspectives (2004).Table 1 in the article describes concepts, principles, and checklist items that can be used to evaluate assessments.
Select two of the checklist items you think are extremely important when evaluating assessments for ELL students. In a 500-750-word essay describe those items within a brief summary of the article to defend why you believe the two items are of particular importance.
Modifying an Assessment —part 2
The lessom plan and the student AZELLA scores are listed below.
Review Ms. Jensen’s Social Studies lesson plan on the Paleolithic era for her 7th grade class. The summative assessment is a written textbook test. Based on the AZELLA scores of her students (which are attached), Ms. Jensen knows that Ramon might have difficulty with the written assessment. What is a modified assessment Ms. Jensen could offer?
In a 250-500-word response, describe an alternate assessment of your own design that would allow Ramon to demonstrate his ability to meet the learning target. Explain how the modified assessment is intended to meet Ramon’s language development needs as well as his emotional and social development needs.

Unit 2: Stone Age
Lesson 1 (2 sessions)
Lesson Name:Paleolithic (Stone Age) time travel activity
Source Materials: Ancient Civilizationstextbook, Unit 1; Additional articles
Learning Objectives:
Crafting
Essential Question: How did Paleolithic (Stone Age) people obtain food, clothing, shelter, tools, and fire?
Learning Target/Objective: I can describe how Paleolithic people lived.
Thinking Strategy: Determining importance
Vocabulary: Paleolithic, Neolithic, migration
Composing
Procedure: To activate background knowledge, students will answer the following question in their notebooks: If your time machine broke and stranded you in the Paleolithic Age, and you could only have one item with you, which item would you choose? Students will then pair share and compare items.
The five categories (food, clothing, shelter, tools, or fire) will be displayed on an anchor chart. Students will write the five categories in their notebook and write beside each category how their chosen item would be used to obtain food, clothing, shelter, fire, and tools. This information will be shared with classmates in class.
Students will be placed into five groups, one group for each category. Each group will prepare a poster which explains their category. To get the information needed for the poster, each group will read Unit 1 in Ancient Civilizations, as well as articles about how Paleolithic people obtained items in the category they represent.
Each group will “teach” their section to the class. The class will take notes as each presentation is given.
Reflection
Exit Slips:
Day 1: Compare or contrast one way Paleolithic people lived with how you live.
