Throughout this challenge each student will have recieved and filled out assessments based on some tasks. These will help to show how each student reflects on the effectiveness and quality of what they have produced as well as how they worked and communicated as part of a team.
The rubrics used for peer and self assessments are included below:
Self Assessment of Mind Map and YouTube clip
Peer Assessment of Board Game
Self Assessment of Comic Strip
For the teacher, assessment will consist of general observations of team work, researching and creating products for each task. The reporter for each task will also be talking with the teacher throughout the week they are assigned that role, this will also form a basis for assessment as the teacher monitors how each student is working within the group and if they are fulfilling their role as well as working towards the bigger picture of the final assignment and the product for that specific task. The reporter will also be displaying their ability to reflect on their own and others' learning, the manager will also be doing these things, so the teacher will be able to assess their Personal and Interpersonal Learning (discussed further on Teacher's Page).
Discovery Day will also be an important part of assessment due to the peer assessed task as well as for the teacher who will be able to see if they have followed the steps for that weeks task and communicated well as a group. These things will be evident if the group is well organised, know what they are talking about and presenting and be able to answer questions from peers due to their ongoing research.
As each group also has their own area in which to do their WebQuest, this will also serve as an evaluation tool for the teacher to keep track of the group and their progress with each task.
An overall rubric which can be marked as the WebQuest is being done or afterwards is provided here. It can be split up into sections correlating to each task to fill out at the same time each task is being done, or, as previously stated, done after the final assignment has been completed.
Each task has basic requirements to be fulfilled. They are collating and organising information retrieved from a variety of resources, presenting that information in a clear, cohesive manner and working well as part of their group. For some tasks, these skills may not be easily aparent as their 'role' will require them to be doing different things but every group member should be assisting other members as well as fulfilling their role for that week.
