Performance Assessment

Performance Assessment

Assignment 5

This the standard to be assess. RL. 6.4 Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, including figurative and connotative meanings; analyze the impact of a specific word choice on meaning and tone.

Performance Assessment– Students demonstrate their abilities in a multitude of ways. Some will demonstrate mastery of written assessments while others will shine during projects, presentations, or artistic expression. How can students prove their mastery of your chosen standard in an alternative form? Create a performance assessment for your students. This will consist of four (4) parts:

    • teacher GRASPS document
    • teacher planning documents,
    • interesting student copy (should grab students’ attention and make them excited to complete the assignment), and include ALL information students need to complete the assignment
    • a rubric (used for scoring and explaining various levels of completion).

Note

As you begin to plan, remember that not all students are the same. Work to incorporate choice into the assignment. This will also help the student create ownership of the assignment. In Appendix B, see examples of the “Teacher Planning: Performance Task Template”, “GRASPS”, student instructions “Extra NEWS Paper”, and “Rubric Template Example”.

Part 2

Write a letter to parents explaining the performance assessment and how the rubric will be used to grade their child’s submission. Items to include in your letter: a brief explanation of the task and the purpose behind the task; a summary of the rubric categories, how each category is scored, how the rubric score is converted to a student grade.  Be sure to make your letter open to two-way communications where parents can contact you with questions and concerns.

Criminal Law

Criminal Law

Instructions

Throughout the United States, there are groups of people who are in immigrant, religious communities or indigenous people who are reluctant to trust members of law enforcement, nor wish to participate in any governmental or non-profit program even if their members would substantially benefit from participating in the design and implementation of a strategic plan. In many cases, this distrust of the criminal justice system can be due to language differences, cultural issues, or a previous history of discrimination within the criminal justice system against a group of people. The CEO of a non-profit that employs you has requested that you prepare a presentation.

Assess and recommend how you would be able to reach out and build participation with any such group in your state that has traditionally avoided participation in the development of criminal justice services in their community as it relates to the criminal justice system.

In addition, you will provide one or two slides that discuss the history and unique cultural nature of a group in your state you are focusing on, along with a news story that highlights the difficulty in getting their cooperation with law enforcement and the criminal justice system.

Support your conclusions with references from a minimum of five (5) journal articles or publications.

Incorporate appropriate animations, transitions, and graphics as well as “speaker notes” for each slide. The speaker notes may be comprised of brief paragraphs or bulleted lists.

Create a PowerPoint slide set or MS Moviemaker project creating the presentation. Include a recorded voiceover to pair with the PowerPoint or MS Moviemaker project. Think about who your target audience is and how your topic affects them.

Instructions
