    Performance Based Assessments


    At the end of each module, your child will be completing a Performance Based Assessment. Their teachers are preparing them daily for this culminating task.

    Performance Based Assessments: 3rd Grade


    Students will observe a busy area (the library, cafeteria, playground, etc.), just as the characters did in The Case of the Gasping Garbage, and take notes on the people, events, and environment. Students will use their observations to write an original narrative story featuring characters and settings from their world. Although students stories will be based on their observations, some details including specific dialogue and background information may be imagined. a. Establish a situation and introduce a narrator and/ or characters; organize an event sequence that unfolds naturally. b. Use dialogue and descriptions of actions, thoughts, and feelings to develop experiences and events or show the response of characters to situations. c. Use temporal words and phrases to signal event order. d. Provide a sense of closure. Students will share their writing with the class as part of an author celebration.

    Performance Based Assessments: 4th Grade


    Biographical Spotlight Students will conduct a short investigative project on a scientist/researcher who has made a difference. Students will use effective research techniques, conducting Internet research to find articles about the persons work. Students will write a biography that clearly introduces the subject and develops a main idea about the subject with facts and concrete details. Students will clearly link ideas and use precise language and domain specific vocabulary to document their subjects experiences. Students will organize material logically and provide an effective concluding statement.
