Artifact # 2: Student writing sample and Google Slides project to show the use of different skill sets
"6(e) The teacher engages learners in multiple ways of demonstrating knowledge and skill as part of the assessment process."
It is important to use multiple forms of assessment when determining student understanding. This gives teachers a more complete picture of what students know, as many assessments may not allow students to demonstrate their full level of understanding. Because I required students to show their understanding in a variety of ways, such as through both a writing assignment and a Google slides presentation, I was able to gain a thorough understanding of what students know, as well as allow students to use various methods to express their understanding. The writing assignment allowed students to both improve their writing ability while also exploring the culture of the country they were researching. The Google Slides project required students to use a different kind of skill set, as they not only had to write, but also to work with technology. Therefore, projects that used different skill sets allowed me to assess students in a level of depth that would not be available if only one type of assessment was used.
