Observation #4...How Would I Assess Student's Knowledge?

In observing Lisa’s classroom, I would determine if student’s can meet the objective by giving the student a poem, breaking the poem up into its stanza’s to make it more readable, and then ask students to write at least a paragraph of what they believe to be the objective summary as well as writing the details of the poem “Who/What/When/Where/Why”.

1) What do you think the objective is?

            Have students be able to read and analyze information in a given poem.

2) What level of Bloom’s Taxonomy is that?

Comprehension and Application.

3) How will you assess it in 10 minutes or less?

By only having the students expected to explicate one poem, and if there are difficult vocabulary within the poem, I would offer definitions at the end of the worksheet.
