Rubric
Assessment purpose
The purpose of this rubric is to develop student’s ability in order to recognize and produce sentences related with introducing. The student will be able to introduce by himself and to understand others when they are introducing themselves.
Procedure
The procedure was challenging because the oral presentation represents the final product of the introducing yourself lesson. My peers and I had to develop two previous activities where communicative competence is involved, and we had to align each component into this final activity where students will be able to do it by themselves in front of the public.
Challenge
In my opinion, some students could feel not very comfortable speaking in front of the others, so there would be a lack of participation. On another hand, there could be some students who may not understand some instructions. There could be a lack of comprehension in the students’ speech. However, the previous two activities are in charge of developing practice on numbers, age, nationalities, and participation.
Rubistar in the development of the rubric
I have found Rubistar as a helpful tool, because there are examples of rubrics, and it provides examples of categories which are guides in the rubrics development. Each category that Rubistar provides is related with the kind of rubric that we want to develop. In addition, there is a variety of topics that could be accurate with your lesson purposes. For that reason, Rubistar is a guidance because you can know more about the requirements that you want to assess in order to obtain a suitable rubric for your lesson.
Scale based on Minerva Model
Scale’s Purpose
The scale aims to know more about students’ opinions
according to theirs lessons. The classes are an integration of teaching and
learning, so it is supposed that students have an opinion about how some
elements are being developed inside the classrooms. Students are going to
choose the grade with they feel suitable according to some important elements
that are involved in the process teaching-learning. The elements have to do
with social integration, sociocultural learning, and learning autonomy.
Checklist
How does blog work
for the teacher, classmates and me?
The blog is a
portfolio and it can be seen several times since it is a virtual item. Blog can
include a long amount of work and tasks because its capacity is bigger than a
common portfolio. The teacher can explore and can integrate different elements
in order to create a more complex and extended use of resources.
For the
classmates, blog can be seen as a source of information because each one can
compare his work and can take some examples to improve his own work. Also,
blogs provide the possibility to comment, discuss and solve some
misunderstandings. The interaction is timely, so there is no need to wait everyone
in order to justify and explain the work.
For me, working with
blog as portfolio had not been something instructional until I took this class
and I read the purposes that a portfolio has. It has been something different
because now I know that is just not about evidences. Blog has worked as a complement
of what I have read, because I had to work in maps and videos in order to
understand topics deeply.
To what extent does it match in practice what you read?
Blog matches with the readings accurately, because it is an instructional tool. Blog includes all the works in order to create a whole project that aims to know, understand and apply all the information about assessment.
Would I implement in my own classes? Why? Or why not?
Yes, I would like to. I would use blog as portfolio because it is an interactive tool. I would like to have a great amount of students doing their performance and trying to use a variety of resources. However, before to apply a blog, I would take into account if all the students have the same possibility to use a blog. In addition, I would take into account if the blog is going to have a sequence in future courses, or if the purposes are going to be accomplished by the following teachers.
My opinion of the next sentence is that "in front of public sounf better than "in front of the public." also in this sentence " in front of the others"
ResponderEliminarI like what you have expressed in the questionnaire and as you said about to use blog in future classes, it could be a little problem for students that do not have the same pissibilities as their classmates.
