UOI Summative
Third grade students will work in pairs to create a print or video advertisement for a product or service using the different components of advertising that they have learned about. Students will need to identify their target audience and use an advertising tactic that will appeal to their target audience.
Subject Specific Summatives
Students will have formatives, which will assess their understanding of the math content and help drive my instruction to better suit their needs. They will also have a mid module and end of module math summative, the date of this summative will be announced a week prior. I send home review sheets for these assessments, the questions on the review sheet are very similar to those on the tests. Students that complete the review sheets generally do better on the summative, than those that do not do it.
Students will also have vocabulary and spelling assessment on Fridays. The words for this assessment will be posted on Managebac, and will be sent home on their homework logs in their blue folder on Monday. The students have regular practice with these words in class.
