LESSON 5: EVALUATING THE ADAPTATION OF A LITERARY TEXT USING SELF- AND PEER-ASSESSMENT
BASED ON RATIONALIZED CRITERIA
Congratulations for coming this far!

Literature expresses human thoughts, feelings, sensations, and imaginations. It recreates

situations, relates experiences and records events and history.

As you go through this module, you will be given the time to express your own perceptions,
feelings, creativity and judgement by making an adaptation of a literary text using multimedia and ICT
skills. You will also learn how to evaluate and assess these literary adaptations.

In this module, you will be able to do self- and/or peer-assessment of the creative adaptation
of a literary text, based on rationalized criteria, prior to presentation.

Specifically, you are expected to:

1. interpret a poem through music video;

2. plan and produce an adaptation of a poem using multimedia and ICT skills; and,

3. critique the adaptation of a poem using self- and peer-assessment based on rationalized criteria

 LESSON 5: EVALUATING THE ADAPTATION OF A LITERARY TEXT USING SELF- AND
PEER-ASSESSMENT BASED ON RATIONALIZED CRITERIA

Let us keep going then. Know more about the lesson as you read the following facts and
information:

1. Literary adaptation is the adapting of a literary source (e.g. a novel, short story, poem) to
another genre or medium, such as a film, stage play, or video game.

Have you watched the following movies?

Do you know that all these movies are adaptations? Why? It is because they were all
novels/books and were adapted to a movie using ICT and multimedia skills, from one genre to another.

If you are to make a music video based on a short story or poem, then you also do an
adaptation of a literary text. You can also make a representation of video games, or a recorded song
and many more on your own. Probably by this time, you can already make adaptations from what you
have watched and listened to. In this lesson you will be given the privilege to make your own
adaptation and rate your own work.
2. A Literary Text is a piece of written work, such as a book or a poem, a commentary, story
review or a short story. Its primary function as a text is usually aesthetic, but it may also
contain political messages or beliefs.
Observe what is written at the lower left side of the poster below, it reads: “At the Big Bad
Wolf Book Sale.” That would tell you that it is a literary text, specifically, a novel.

What books or short stories have you read? How about songs? They are all literary texts.

What if you are asked to make a music video of the book, how will you do it?

3. Peer assessment is the assessment of students' work by other students of the same status.
Students often undertake peer assessment with formal self-assessment.
In peer assessment, the assessor may consider the efforts exerted by the author, maker or
writer. On the other hand, the result of the assessment must also be respected and recognized
by the author, maker or writer for self-improvement. Both may do reflections by exchanging
constructive feedbacks together.
Peer Assessment is valuable in helping students to learn from each other by listening,
analyzing and problem solving. It gives students the opportunity to encounter diversity in
different ways, critique and judge and be responsible for their own learning.
One example of this is the yearly awarding of a Leadership Award for Grade 6 pupils, Grade
10 and Grade 12 students. There are standard criteria for this award. Teachers and club
advisers give their evaluation.
Peers/classmates’ feedbacks are also considered in the evaluation. This is based on DepEd
Order No. 36, s. 2016 on Policy Guidelines on Awards and Recognition for the K to 12 Basic
Education Program.
 Table 3 shows the set of criteria and weights that will be used by advisers and peers in the
evaluation and deliberation process. Schools may opt to add more indicators based on the
decision of the Academic Chairman. Candidates will be evaluated by at least 30% of their peers
(group, team, class, or club mates) as well as their class or club advisers. Only those learners
who have met at least 90% of the criteria on the next page shall be awarded.

Have you tried evaluating your peer during your elementary and high school days? Maybe, it
is the other way around because you were the one who was evaluated.
 A reality show is a concrete example of an event that uses assessment. However, the
contestants and the judges are not peers. This example is given just to make you grasp even further
what assessment is. The judges of a reality show choose the participants who have great singing voice
quality, if it is a singing contest. They do not pick the winners based on their whims or personal choices,
instead they use particular criteria.

What reality shows do you watch? It is the fad nowadays. We see them not just in our
locality but all over the world.

If you were one of the judges of a certain singing audition show and you were tasked
to make your own criteria, how would you do it?

Here is an example of my own simple criteria for a singing contest:

Voice Quality: 70 pts

Diction: 10 pts

Clarity of Message: 10 pts

Entertainment Value: 10 pts

Total - 100 pts

REMEMBER! It is important to have criteria or rubric to rationally judge or assess a certain

performance or work.

The following are the advantages and disadvantages of Peer Assessment according to Chan,
2010.

Advantages of Peer Assessment

o Encourages students to critically reflect each other’s work

o Encourages students to be involved in the assessment process
o Helps students develop their judgmental skills when they assess the work of other group
members
o More feedback can be generated by students compared to one or two teachers
o Reduces the time and workload of marking for teachers
o Discourages the problem of free rider because students tend to put extra effort to perform
better in front of their peers
o Maintains the fairness of assessment because everyone has the chance to assess each other
o Helps students to criticize, evaluate and apply other generic skills during the process
o Helps students to learn more from each other’s work

Disadvantages of Peer Assessment

o Peer pressure and friendship can influence the reliability of grades given by students
o Students may have a tendency to give everyone the same mark (for example, there may be
agreement in return for good grades)
o Students are not experienced in assessing each other
o Students may cheat in collaboration for group assignments
o Fair assessment may not be determined because extrovert students are mostly good in the
actual output

4. Self-assessment is a process where students are taught to assess their performance against
pre-determined standard criteria and it involves the students in goal setting and more
informal, dynamic self-regulation and self-reflection.

Do you do reflections? For example, after saying or

doing something, you ask yourself, “Did I say the right
thing?” or “Did I do the right thing?”
 Some of you keep diaries or journals; you
record your own thoughts and feelings, and
sometimes even your regrets. Why? It is because
you do evaluation, a self-assessment.

When you do a project or a requirement,

especially when it is a performance, you assess first
your work. You examine it if it meets what the criteria or rubrics require.

This could be the hardest because sometimes it is difficult to see our own flaws, but with the given
required rationalized criteria, you can objectively judge your own work.

Supposing you are a contestant in a certain blind singing audition and while practicing you keep
in mind the criteria as your guide. How would you assess your performance? Will you be honest
enough to admit your weaknesses and strengths?

Here are the advantages and disadvantages of Self-assessment according to Chan, 2010:

Advantages of self-assessment:

o Encourages students to critically reflect their own learning progress and performance
o Encourages students to be more responsible for their own learning
o Helps students become autonomous learners
o Helps students be more aware of their weakness and strength
o Helps students develop their judgmental skills
o There is no peer pressure when students evaluate themselves

Disadvantages of self-assessment:
o Self-assessment can be subjective because students may not be sincere and may even over-
evaluate their own performance
o Time consuming for students
o Students may not be familiar with the assessment criteria.

Our goal is to combat the disadvantages. You will try your best to be objective and be familiar with
the criteria. The good thing is that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. You will receive more
benefits in doing this.
 Remember this!
Self and peer assessment can help promote learning by establishing an environment that could
engage students and help them develop a sense of internal responsibility for their own learning
(Yorke & Longden, 2010)

By this time, you now have a clear understanding of the terms: Literary Adaptation, Literary Text,
Self-assessment and Peer Assessment.
