Writing Performance Tasks

A performance task is a description of how a student is expected to demonstrate understanding, knowledge and skills. The task may be a product, performance or extended writing that requires rigorous thinking and relevant application. It is usually written in the third person describing the learning to other educators.

Performance tasks include;

•student work that will be produced or performed

•whether group or individual

•Specific learning context

•resources students will be provided or have to acquire

•setting where students will complete the work

•conditions (often real world) under which the work will be done

Performance tasks usually do not include;

•Assessment. A performance-based implies but does not specify how the performance will be assessed.

•Specific direction to the student

•Specific equipment list

•Homework or reading assignments

Students will write a letter to the editor of the local newspaper, on the topic of the environment with a specific reference to a local issue or problem. It will take a point of view, include summaries of research, cite sources and recommend action.

Concepts, or Essential Questions

Not All Ideas Are Created Equal

• Some are Enduring or Key for Learning Over Time

Freedom

Citizenship

Understanding Big Ideas

•Work with a partner and take a blank piece of paper for a mini web

•List a topic in the middle

•What are the 3 to 5 biggest ideas about that topic, use only nouns in the boxes

•With your partner, please discuss: What is the difference between big, enduring ideas and smaller facts?

Big Ideas

Concept Mapping-Try it!

1. Review your content standards for a recent unit you taught in the last couple of months

2. Use nouns

3. Use Pre-planning web like the one on the previous slide

4. What are the big ideas 4-6 (not the steps, but what students needed to know, what they might come back years later and say, “ I’m glad I learned that.”)

5. For each concept, brainstorm how you will know students “got” the concept.
