The step-by-step process for creating an assessment unit

 

Step 4: Develop a performance assessment

Interpretive task: Read an article about someone who is currently famous in the target culture. Summarize the key facts about the person. Decide if the person will be remembered in history and give reasons for your response.

Presentational task: Research a famous person from the target culture. Role-play the person and introduce yourself to the class, including why you are famous.

Interpersonal task: In small groups, discuss what famous person you would like to meet and why.

Write the rubrics for assessing each of the modes, or adapt a rubric you have used before that worked well. To see types of rubrics, see the Evaluation section.
