Here is a copy of my Summative Assessment Blueprint. I could not figure out how to attach a file to a post, so I was able to insert it as a picture after a bit of tinkering. Clicking on the picture should open a new window or tab with a much bigger copy of the picture. If anyone would like the original by email, just ask. Feedback is greatly appreciated!
Hi Glen,
ReplyDeleteNice job on your blueprint. I really liked how you approached your blueprint and to tell you the truth, I wouldn't know what to change in it, if you need to do so. The first thing I liked is that your content outline didn't exceed 20% per section. This allows a student that it he/she does poorly in one of the sections, it doesn't hurt him/her that much. I also liked how you had 7 content outlines. I only had 5!! Moreover, you did a nice job putting a representation from each outline into the different taxonomies, which allows students not only to answer easy questions, but it also gives that who are smart a way to be challenged.
I know we are supposed to give some constructive criticism, but I truly believe that you did a beautiful job! I had no idea how to do this assignment so I used yours as a reference tool. Great job! ~Glen
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on being able to get the picture of your blueprint on your actual blog. I also like that the weighting of your scores is spread out so that students have a variety of opportunities to be successful. Your activities also lead off one another and I think that will be helpful to students because even when introducing something new it is connected to something that they already have at least somewhat of a grasp on.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I can really say, is to check your numbers. You forgot about Synthesis under VI. There is no room left for any of hose question. Overall good job, you have found a balance for all the questions. Besides Multiple choice, are you using short answer and fill in the blanks, that was my quess for the rest of your questions.
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I have a really good idea of what your assessment will look like. Mine is not as specific as yours because I put the objectives inside my chart instead of down the first column. My first column was much less specific. I also didn't describe the actual activities. Your make me think I need to add more details to mine, so wonderful! :)
ReplyDeleteNice job. I like how you used your targets as your outline and then you were really specific on your questions and activities included in your assessment. I wouldn't change any of it for now.
ReplyDeleteI think you did an amazing job. Looking at your blueprint is definitely causing me to rethink mine. I like that you included the specific questions/ tasks in the blueprint.
ReplyDeleteGlen,
ReplyDeleteYour blueprint looks great. I liked how you didn't quite follow the outline in the book because it didn't apply to your subject and topic area. The learning targets function much better on the left hand of the column for you. I think I may take your idea and use it on my own blueprint. I also learned from the specificity of your work. I can tell exactly what you will be doing with students and that information is useful. Excellent job--I am taking a lot of your general ideas away (specific, learning targets in a place that works for me...)
Thanks,
Adrienne
Cool. I only have a few comments.
ReplyDelete1. This is pretty vanilla. It's complete, but doesn't exhibit much creativity.
2. The point distribution is fairly flat. Why is that? (I'm just asking, not critiquing.)
Good job though... Bonus for getting it posted to your blog.
